When both “parties” agree on something GOOD it’s a rare and precious event. We know that both “parties” always agree to make war on Russia, or make war on anyone Israel dislikes.
Aside from genocide, they usually plan their fake disputes to guarantee perpetual evil. One side will pretend to pass a good law, knowing full well that the other side will veto or overturn it.
Bitcoin started with D-flavored hackers, then gradually sold itself to R-flavored suckers who thought they were hackers. After Trump adopted it, the R label was absolute. We normally expect D places to hate it and R places to love it.
In the last two years romance scammers and fake police scammers have cornered the market on bitcoin “ATMs”. Many lonely or elderly people have lost their life savings by following an evil scripted panic-generator to the nearest bitcoin “ATM”. The sucker is ordered to deposit a huge amount, which then goes directly into the account of the scammer. Before these machines, the scammers had to lead the sucker to a real bank or some guy in an alley. Banks are good at catching and stopping fake transfers, and the physical cash to the guy in the alley could be recovered.
Now all three major entities in this area (Valley, City, County) have banned the “ATMs”. The county is tainted by a faint R smell, which means the city reflexively overturns everything the county does. In this case all three did the right thing! The scammers might be able to find an “ATM” somewhere in Idaho, but a longer distance gives the sucker more time to think, and crossing the state line would interfere with the diabolical fake police trick.

Out of curiosity I checked Google’s map of nearby bitcoin “ATMs”. Clearly the laws haven’t taken effect yet. There’s one in the Safeway I normally use, so the scammers could lead me to theft with no trouble at all!
