It would be bigger if Biden himself wants BTC to become legal tender in the entirety of the United States rather than just for a single or a few states like Arizona. It’s not going to be easy to officially making it as legal tender. Although that it’s still a welcoming development because the state senator embraced and saw it’s long term potential.

Even though that nothing is impossible, but I believe the chances are gonna be no to very slim to make it official based on the US government’s views on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, especially that they are one of the strictest in regulating this industry such as banning of US citizens from participating in ICOs.

Of course it will, but definitely you and I know Biden isn't going to do anything of that sort, neither will any state in the United States successfully implement that, I wouldn't even want to talk about this, it's more or less just like raising the hopes of those who really do not understand that making Bitcoin a legal tender in the United States is almost not possible, at least for now. I'm pretty sure we'll get big news in favor of BTC this year, but this isn't one I'm afraid.
That's true, politicians/the government wouldn't support any proposal in the favor of Bitcoin as things stand, that decentralized factor is quite a lot for them to handle, it's more like, since they can't control Bitcoin, then they just have to regulate it like they are doing.

With thinks like the goldback: https://goldback.com/
And community currencies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_community_currencies_in_the_United_States
already around, if these people were serious then there could probably be a push for BTC acceptance.

But, IMO, they are not serious. They just want the press for being "innovative" or "fighting big government" or whatever.

Not to mention, and I have said this before. Businesses are in the business of doing business. Not dealing with different forms of payment.
Until the ability to convert BTC to just about everything a business needs to run is everywhere then most places are going to want to convert to fiat to buy stuff.
It does not matter if AZ says you it's legal tender. Until your supplier takes it, it does not matter.
And it has been taken to court many times, suppliers can specify whet forms of payment they are willing to take. So if they don't want BTC they don't have to take it regardless of what the government says. *This is the same way more and more places get away with not taking cash for stuff and demand bank transfers only.

I just hope that this is implemented correctly unlike how it was done in El Salvador. While, I am not opposed to legal tender laws, I think they need to be created with the people in mind.

Dont forget El Salvador's law was passed without the public knowing, and was also passed in the dead of night. While I dont think the El Salvadorian government had any ill intentions, the way they went about getting this bill passed wasn't exactly the most transparent.

From your write-up the answer is obviously no, the US Constitution is supreme to state laws. So why is the state senator embarking on a wild goose chase? I think it's just a publicity stunt because there are other things he can do to increase adoption of bitcoin in his state. He can sponsor Crypto friendly laws aside from making it a legal tender.

This is government matter, if government of U.S doesn't allow or permit state's to have their own legal tender, i think before the state have reasoned of it and digest and it came out to become obvious, i think the state have sub strategies to make it to come to reality, we know quite well that it's only legislatures can implement such for it to function appropriately. Bitcoin is a currency that's very obvious currently and understandable, if a specific state make it a legal tender i think other nations will adopt such step, op it can only work if majority of legislatures is in support to become a legal tender.

That's right. If CoinDesk reported it properly, the purpose of the bill is just to add another currency to the list of legal tender in the state of Arizona. It doesn't replace the USD or makes USD non-legal tender in Arizona.

I don't think it matters whether someone tried to introduce a brand-new currency or an existing one. The point is that you are not allowed to replace the US dollar with bitcoin, euro, or the Arizona coin (if there was such a thing). 

Having said all that, I don't believe the bill will pass.

The last time I checked Bitcoin is legal to use in the US. So is it really necessary for people to start talking about it being a legal tender? I guess they are just doing it because of the news that El Salvador has declared Bitcoin a legal tender, so everyone now wants Bitcoin to be a legal tender in their country, which to me I don’t feel is necessary. If Bitcoin is just legal in your country, then that’s good, you can buy it and sell it, without having any problem with the government.

The main focus for now should be on countries where it is illegal to make use of Bitcoin, if there can be a way to make their governments to accept Bitcoin and make it legal for people to trade this currency in in their country, then it would be good. Just my opinion.

When I saw this topic, I already had it in mind that it is not going to work, and you also stated the reason why: because the US constitution does not allow individual states to make their own legal tender. The best thing that they can do is to find a way to take it to those at the top, so that it would be declared generally in the US as a legal tender and not just in the Arizona State. That is if it is going to be possible. But for me I don’t really think making it a legal tender is all that important, I feel that as long as it is simply a legal for people to freely make use of it for most purposes, then it would be good. Anyways, let’s see how this one goes.

If the Constitution doesn't allow creating legal tender, it means that Arizona can't make their own Arizonacoin and declare is legal tender. But since it wasn't this state that created Bitcoin, I don't think this restriction applies in this case. It might still be a federal matter, of course, but not due to the restriction of creating legal tender. After all, it doesn't say that individual states aren't allowed to recognize any currencies as legal tender. I'm not very optimistic about the bill passing because it's a very big thing for a state to decide, but it probably won't be overruled on the basis of that clause of the Constitution.
