Yes, the US government may legally sell gold for bitcoin
https://protos.com/fact-check-can-the-us-sell-gold-to-buy-bitcoin/
According to a statement from the U.S. SEC, the agency supports advancing the “SEC Crypto 2.0” initiative and has established a new Presidential Task Force on Cryptocurrency.
The announcement emphasizes that digital asset securities transactions — both on-chain and off-chain — should adhere to the same trade reporting requirements as traditional securities. The SEC proposes strengthening off-chain transaction oversight, improving trade reporting mechanisms, and establishing a Digital Asset Reporting and Tracking system (DART).

Bhutan has 27x more #Bitcoin per person than the U.S.
Large countries may compete on total Bitcoin holdings, but ALL countries will compete on sats per capita.
This Thursday, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump’s nominee to be the next chair of the SEC, Paul Atkins, will sit before the Senate Banking Committee for his confirmation hearing.
After four disastrous years of regulation by enforcement from Gary Gensler, Atkins is the best choice to not only reset with the community but create a regulatory environment based on understanding and clarity instead of hysteria and chaos. SEC to shift focus away from crypto enforcement under new leadership.

Don’t be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d’état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Pam Bondi’s warning to Jasmine Crockett is a blatant attack on free speech. Threatening a Congresswoman for criticizing Elon Musk shows Bondi’s more loyal to billionaires than the Constitution. She’s a disgrace to the AG office, prioritizing power over principle. Resign now.
23&me are Fuckers as a functioning company was a privacy disaster. 23andMe as a bankrupt, for sale company is a fucking nightmare
PSA: If you’ve ever used 23andMe, delete all your data. They’re going bankrupt, and who knows where your DNA will end up?
This situation raises several important points: – trusting a private for-profit company with your genetic data has inherent risks – genetic data exposes secrets about not just the person who donated it but also all their relatives – we ought to have legislation to keep DNA secret
More Countries are Demanding Back-Doors to Encrypted Apps
Last month I wrote about the UK forcing Apple to break its Advanced Data Protection encryption in iCloud. More recently, both Sweden and France are contemplating mandating back doors. Both initiatives are attempting to scare people into supporting back doors, which are—of course—are terrible idea. ~Bruce Schneier internationally renowned security technologist.
Why Did Elon Musk Go After Bunkers Full of Seeds?
What’s the story here, and how could this possibly make sense?
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/opinion/doge-elon-musk-usda-crops.html
Firing the scientists who maintain the National Plant Germplasm System jeopardizes 127 years of agricultural genetic preservation.
This system safeguards 600,000+ crop varieties that serve as America’s agricultural insurance policy against emerging plant diseases and other unforeseen threats to crop production.
The NPGS costs 0.000008% of the federal budget while insuring a $1.5 trillion food system.
When stem rust threatened global wheat supplies in 1999, these collections provided the resistant genes that prevented widespread crop failure.
Similar genetic resources from the bank generate $91+ million annually for the apple industry alone.
Ask yourself this: if a man was trying to eliminate a population say over the next 20 years, which departments would be on the chopping block?
Are DOGE staff just cutting things carelessly or is this a deliberate plot to cripple the U.S. government and economy? The guy knows very little science. Letting silicon valley bros run things is a new Dark Ages. Quickest & cheapest way to destroy your enemy isn’t by fighting them directly but by buying some to do the work for you!
Russia is overjoyed at Müssk’s and Trùmmpp’s handy work. Total wipeout for a pittance following on from the same work done in the UK.

President Donald Trump said closing the Education Department would help students and save money. Legally, only Congress can close the department. But the Trump administration recently cut the Education Department’s staff nearly in half.

Trump is dismantling the Department of Education. He says he, “loves the poorly educated.”
Trump calls the free press, “The Enemy of the People.” Fascists always say that. Always. He’s not joking. Trump’s vision of “free speech” comes at the expense of press freedom. Just like all the fascists before him.

Another day, another institution caves to the threats and shakedowns of Donald Trump.
And the pattern is clear: the more powerful institutions are, the more likely they are to comply.

Trump Just Put His Personal Lawyer in Charge of Federal Prosecutions in New Jersey
Yep, Alina Habba—the same lawyer who’s been defending Trump in court and spinning for him on cable news—is now running the DOJ’s New Jersey office.
Forget qualifications. Forget appearances. This isn’t about law and order.
It’s about loyalty above all. Habba’s been rewarded not for her legal wins (there aren’t many), but for her unshakable devotion to Trump’s inner circle. Now she’s in charge of federal prosecutors, civil cases, and criminal investigations in a major U.S. district. This isn’t draining the swamp. It’s filling it with Trump’s legal PR team.
Alina Habba is the daughter of the US Chancellor of the fascist Knights of Malta

Jessica Aber’s death feels like one of those stories that’s meant to fade quietly into the background — a tragic headline that people are supposed to forget. But when a career prosecutor who spent her life chasing Russian cybercriminals, CIA leaks, and war criminals turns up dead just weeks after resigning, forgetting isn’t an option.
Aber, the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, was found dead at her home in Alexandria on March 22. She was 43 years old. Police haven’t said how she died, but the timing — and her unfinished business — makes it impossible to ignore.
