Ohio is the recent US states to adopt legislation supporting the use of blockchain technology and smart contracts to store and protect electronic records in countless industries.

It will be helpful in promoting blockchain technology in US and this will be a great new for them as well. I don't know when it will be effective completely because USA is the country, which is usually in restricted areas of almost every ICO. This should open new avenues for them to participate in different ICOs.

Actually, this is also considered a noticeable event. To the investors as well as the community who use this technology. It has been demonstrated that the digital age began booming. It will be an important step in the reform of the country as well as in the country. It will change the whole and bring more value to the community.

A legislation does not compel citizens to adopt the usage of a technology. It only give room to people to be relaxed in exploring the opportunity created, in this case, blockchian technology. It is a welcomed development. But I am looking forward to regulations that will engender mass adoption of cryptocurrency.

Good news for the crypto community. But now there's too much FUD news out there that needs more than one news to stop the bear. I think the market will need to reach a new bottom before recovering

It's always great to see more places accept blockchain technologies however I do have to agree - the amount of uncertainity is so great we'd have to see lots of good news in a row before positive sentiment comes back into the market again.

I am not surprised about this issue,  as you try to search,  the country of zimbabwe, accepts virtual money anywhere,  it means that if you visit zimbabwe without having real money then it is okay to tour around the country without worrying if you don't have cash.  United states should adopt and support this earlier, in order for the green line in the market appears. And it will also help tourist being cashless while roaming , that is the advantage.  

All this news comes from unknown sites[1] [2] [3] so I can not judge its validity, also I did a search and didn't find a reliable site confirms its validity.[1][2]

If we assume the validity of this news, it will not have any effect, as it talks about the use of blockchain for purposes of transparency and electronic records without talking about its use financially.
