俄亥俄很快就可以让您支付比特币或其他加密货币的费用

是否想建立新业务或另外支付费用？今年秋天，您可能会立即以比特币或其他加密货币付款。

State agencies and departments could soon accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency to pay for fees and services.

州机构和部门可能很快就可以接受比特币和其他加密货币来支付费用和服务。

The proposal to allow the use of cryptocurrency would be presented to the State Controlling Board next month by Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose.

允许使用加密货币的提议将于下个月由俄亥俄州财务主管罗伯特·斯普拉格（Robert Sprague）和俄亥俄州国务卿弗兰克·拉罗斯（Frank Larose）提出。

If approved, the state would need to find a company to convert the cryptocurrency into cash that the state can use. Customers would pay a fee for the transaction, similar to when they use a credit card.

如果获得批准，该州将需要找到一家公司将加密货币转换为州可以使用的现金。客户将向交易支付费用，类似于使用信用卡时。

Each agency and department would then decide whether to accept cryptocurrency. LaRose said the process of setting up the program and rolling it out to each agency could take months.

然后，每个机构和部门将决定是否接受加密货币。拉罗斯说，设置该计划并将其推广到每个机构的过程可能需要几个月的时间。

LaRose said he wants to be the state’s first adopter, accepting Bitcoin to pay for business filing fees.

拉罗斯说，他想成为该州的第一位采用者，接受比特币支付商务申请费。

“I don’t anticipate that there will be hundreds of thousands of Ohioans that are immediately starting to pay their fees on the Ohio Secretary of State’s website in Bitcoin, but there will be some,” LaRose said. “What this does is signal that Ohio is near the forefront of embracing this financial technology.”

拉罗斯说：“我预计不会有成千上万的俄亥俄州人立即开始在比特币的俄亥俄州国务卿网站上支付费用，但会有一些。” “这样做的表明俄亥俄州接近拥抱这项金融技术的最前沿。”

The move comes as the popularity of cryptocurrency, especially among Republicans, is increasing.

此举是因为加密货币的普及，尤其是在共和党中，正在增加。

During Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential bid, the Ohio governor candidate was bullish on cryptocurrency, introducing a policy to curb the overregulation of it. Both Sprague and LaRose have endorsed Ramaswamy’s 2026 bid to replace Gov. Mike DeWine.

在Vivek Ramaswamy的总统投标期间，俄亥俄州州长候选人对加密货币看涨，引入了一项政策，以遏制其过度调节的政策。斯普拉格（Sprague）和拉罗斯（Larose）都认可了拉马斯瓦米（Ramaswamy）2026年替代州长迈克·迪温（Mike Dewine）的竞标。

Meanwhile, Ohio lawmakers are pitching the Ohio Blockchain Basics Act, also known as House Bill 116. The proposed law would prevent state and local governments from charging additional taxes and fees on cryptocurrency, among other changes.

同时，俄亥俄州立法者正在推出《俄亥俄州区块链基础法》，也称为众议院第116号法案。拟议的法律将防止州和地方政府收取有关加密货币的额外税款和费用，以及其他变化。

Another proposal, Senate Bill 56, would allow Ohioans to pay taxes and fees with Bitcoin. And House Bill 713 would create a cryptocurrency reserve − an idea that Sprague said he still has questions about.

另一项提案，参议院第56号法案将允许俄亥俄州人用比特币缴税和费用。众议院第713号法案将创建一个加密货币储备 - Sprague说他仍然对此有疑问。

Former Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, who ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate, was an early adopter of Bitcoin. He wanted Ohioans to be able to pay their taxes in cryptocurrency, setting up OhioCrypto.com.

前俄亥俄州司库乔什·曼德尔（Josh Mandel）曾为美国参议院竞选，他是比特币的早期采用者。他希望俄亥俄州人能够以加密货币缴纳税款，建立Ohiocrypto.com。

ButSprague canned the idea, and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost later said that Mandel hadn't set it up properly.

但是，巴拉格罐装了这个想法，俄亥俄州检察长戴夫·约斯特（Dave Yost）后来说曼德尔（Mandel）没有正确设置它。

Sprague said this new idea is different because it follows the right process. He also added that the federal government is much more supportive of cryptocurrency and limiting its regulation than it once was.

斯普拉格说，这个新想法是不同的，因为它遵循正确的过程。他还补充说，联邦政府比以前更支持加密货币并限制其法规。

“This has come and if you don't go out in front of it, you'll get dragged behind the bus,”Sprague said.

斯普拉格说：“这已经到来了，如果您不在它面前，您将被拖到公共汽车后面。”
