Is buying bitcoin with Google Pay legal in West Virginia?
Bitcoin is legal in West Virginia.

Separately, House Bill 2585, a 2017 law, defined cryptocurrency in the state's anti-money-laundering statutes and treated instruments like bitcoin as monetary instruments for financial crime purposes, a definition aimed at launderers rather than ordinary owners.
