🇺🇸 Senator Cynthia Lummis just proposed one of the boldest ideas in U.S. financial history: Sell America’s gold reserves… and buy 5% of ALL Bitcoin to address the $38.5T national debt crisis. If this ever happens, it won’t just shift markets 👉 it will rewrite global monetary policy. 👉 it will validate Bitcoin on a national level. 👉 it will change the future of U.S. wealth. Is the U.S. finally waking up to digital hard money? ⚡️🟧

📢 Big news: Crypto-powered “basic income” for some NYC residents Some New Yorkers are getting $12,000 in crypto (stablecoin) thanks to a new pilot funded by Coinbase. The initiative, run through the nonprofit GiveDirectly, targets 160 low-income residents in neighborhoods like the South Bronx and East Harlem. Here’s how it works: Each selected resident will receive USDC a U.S.-dollar-pegged stablecoin totaling $12,000 over several months. The payment is distributed as an $8,000 lump sum (in November) + monthly $800 payments for the next few months. Business Insider+2CoinDesk+2 Recipients can hold the funds in crypto, convert to bank account, spend with a crypto card, or withdraw via ATM giving flexibility similar to cash. Supporters say this experiment could help people cover major expenses like security deposits, tuition, or moving costs potentially providing a real financial boost when needed most.
