Strive for happiness first, above all else.

Completely disagree

Helpful Thank you

Respect. The last thing a parent would ever want in my opinion, is to 'burden' their kids to have to take care of them when they are older. 72-year-old spent $280K on a caregiver cottage — now she's building a tiny-home village so her friends can age together finance.yahoo.com/real-estat…

Wow 😮

I love it and makes so much sense..”Bitcoin has no top because the dollar has no bottom “ Facts. @CorySwan @saylor @LawrenceLepard @SenLummis @TheBTCKnight @AdamBLiv @adam3us

ZERO credibility or belief at this point.

Probably nothing

Tennis? Yes. Golf, baseball and soccer, yes. American Football and basketball? Forget about it

You go Ed!

The House Financial Services Committee advanced H.R. 8957 (the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026, or ARMA) on September 16, 2026. Reports indicate it passed as amended (some sources cite a 28-21 vote; others note a voice vote). This was the first formal committee markup and vote on the bill since its introduction in May by Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) with bipartisan co-lead Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME). What the bill actually does It codifies a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under the U.S. Treasury (building on the existing March 2025 executive order). Key provisions include: • Consolidating federally held Bitcoin (primarily from criminal/civil forfeitures) under Treasury custody. • A mandatory minimum 20-year lock-up: No selling, swapping, auctioning, or disposing of the Bitcoin during that period. The clock can reset with new deposits. • After 20 years, limited sales (capped, e.g., up to 10% in any two-year window in some versions) only with congressional review, often tied to debt reduction. • Regular proof-of-reserve requirements: Public cryptographic attestations, independent third-party audits, and oversight. • A separate Digital Asset Stockpile for non-Bitcoin digital assets held by the government. • Budget-neutral study on potential future acquisitions (no mandate for new taxpayer-funded or debt-financed purchases). • Explicit protection of private property rights and self-custody for individuals. It does not force the government to buy large amounts of new Bitcoin with public funds. The existing holdings (estimates have ranged from ~200k to over 300k BTC) are the core of the reserve. What’s next? 1. Full House floor vote
The committee reports the bill favorably to the House. Leadership then decides whether and when to schedule a vote. • Timing is uncertain. House members are expected to leave Washington after around September 17 until after the November elections, so a floor vote this month is unlikely. It could come in a lame-duck session, early 2027, or later. 2. Senate
The bill (or a companion version) needs to pass the Senate. Related efforts exist (e.g., Sen. Cynthia Lummis’s BITCOIN Act), but ARMA itself still requires Senate action and potential reconciliation of differences. 3. Presidential signature
If both chambers pass it, it goes to the President. Given the existing executive-order framework, support is expected if it reaches that stage. 4. Implementation
If enacted, Treasury would have deadlines (e.g., 180 days in some versions) to set up secure custody, begin reporting, and operationalize the reserve and stockpile. Bottom line This is a meaningful step toward making the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve statutory (harder for a future administration to reverse with a new executive order) rather than purely executive. It prioritizes holding seized Bitcoin long-term with transparency and audits over rapid sales. It is not an immediate buy catalyst for the market, since it focuses on already-held assets rather than mandating large new purchases. The path ahead still requires full House and Senate passage. Progress will depend on post-election priorities and broader crypto legislative momentum.

Based on Clarity Act’s debacle, there is no reason to believe this will go anywhere.
