The Free State Project in New Hampshire, known for its libertarian ethos and pioneering spirit, made a significant stride in the adoption of bitcoin. It became known for being the first to integrate Bitcoin into real estate transactions, allowing property payments to be made with the digital currency. This innovative step was part of a broader movement within the state to embrace decentralized and non-governmental forms of currency, aligning with the beliefs of many of its residents.
