Humm… S.4912 — 118th Congress (2023-2024) This Act may be cited as the “Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act of 2024” or the “BITCOIN Act of 2024”. “SEC. 10. PROTECTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. (a) Rules Of Construction.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed to— (1) authorize the Federal Government to seize, confiscate, or otherwise impair any property right in the lawfully acquired Bitcoin holdings of any person; or (2) infringe upon the rights of individuals, businesses, or organizations to purchase, hold, transfer, or dispose of Bitcoin in accordance with the law. (b) Affirmation Of Rights.—This Act affirms and protects the rights of persons to maintain full lawful control over the Bitcoin and other digital assets of those individuals, recognizing that the ability to maintain self-custody of private keys is fundamental to the principles of financial sovereignty, privacy, and personal liberty in the digital age.” https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/4912/text?s=1&r=1&q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22s.4912%22%7D#id3f2245bd62324855bb316db6b3d6b08a

“All sectors—public, private, nonprofit—must work together to ensure greater access to housing. A well-functioning housing sector is critical to the health of society, to every economy, and to financial stability. To get our house in order, we must fix what’s broken,” -Gita Bhatt, F&D editor-in-chief. Finance & Development (F&D) is the magazine produced by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). To assert that a market needs to be “fixed” by legislation or other central planning sounds idealistic but in practice is not possible.

God, please use me today to be Your hands and feet, to be a true blessing in someone's life. You have blessed me beyond measure! In turn, I want to be a blessing and shine Your light on someone else. Show me who I can help and love today. Help me be creative in a way so that I can produce something that others can use or experience that will draw them closer to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

When we consider the future and prepare for it, our behavior reflects more of a peaceful, harmonious collaboration with others. A sound, hard to reproduce form of money enables and lays the foundation for this. View quoted note →
