H.R. 1919 and S. 3801 are aligned in purpose and intent, aiming to block the Federal Reserve from issuing or using CBDCs. HR 1919 passed the House. It has NOT passed the Senate. S 3801 failed. Democrats and a few GOP Senators are protecting CBDCs.

A strategic national bitcoin reserve elevates #bitcoin to national security status. Doesn't this potentially pose a threat? Since, the government easily invokes authoritarian emergency powers in the name of protecting its national security interests. I have not encountered social media discussing this consideration. #btc
Excerpt - "The Big Print" by Lawrence Lepard:
"The greatest issue of our time is the broken monetary system, which leads to enormous wealth inequality because it gives one group of citizens an unfair advantage. It also grants undue power to the government, which has led to a lot of bad policies, including perpetual wars. The people running this system have made America an amoral shell of the ideal proposed by the Founding Fathers."
