hot take. pearl jam is grossly overrated.

I made a Claude skill for setting up Lightning nodes! The skill, run-litd, can set up a wide variety of nodes, full node, pruned node, neutrino back-end, build a remote signer, connect to a remote signer, etc. and run on mainnet or signet! You are guided through choosing the type of node that you need and then the skills builds a properly configured node, that means a config file, a systemd service, etc. You can find it in this collection of Lightning skills… github.com/Liongrass/ligh… Give it a try and maybe tell your Lightning newb vibe coding friends!

The American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) would authorize the U.S. Treasury to acquire up to 200,000 bitcoin per year for five years, targeting a reserve of 1 million BTC. The bill was introduced Wednesday by Rep. Nick Begich with 16 original cosponsors. It is a rebranding and expansion of the original BITCOIN Act co-introduced last year by Begich and Senator Cynthia Lummis. It would codify Trump's March 2025 executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into permanent law that cannot be reversed by a future president. The bill classifies bitcoin as a "Tier 1" strategic reserve asset, putting it on the same legal footing as gold. A separate digital asset stockpile would hold other federally owned crypto. All acquisitions must be budget-neutral. The funding mechanism is revaluing Federal Reserve gold certificates from their current statutory price of $42.22 per ounce, set in 1973, to current market prices. That gap generates hundreds of billions in accounting gains without new taxpayer debt. The bill also ends the practice of auctioning off seized bitcoin. All future seizures would be transferred directly to the Strategic Reserve instead of being liquidated by the U.S. Marshals Service. Existing government holdings would be consolidated into a single audited ledger. Bitcoin in the reserve would be held for a minimum of 20 years. The bill establishes federal custody standards including geographic distribution of private keys across air-gapped facilities, multi-signature governance requiring authorization from the Treasury, the Fed, and an independent third agency, and investment in "quantum-resistant cryptographic upgrades." Rep. Pat Harrigan, one of the cosponsors, said "The United States government already holds billions in seized bitcoin with no coherent strategy for managing it, and that needs to change."

With the SpaceX IPO, the Mag 7 will become the Mag 8 and 25% of the Mag 8 will have Bitcoin on their balance sheet.

A new company has been added to @BTCtreasuries! @VIDAisAI's founders and directors are long time bitcoin holders and we intend for VIDA to be as well. Every public company should have bitcoin on its balance sheet. With @SpaceX's recent filing showing them owning 18,712 BTC this is more clear than ever. bitcointreasuries.net/public-compani…

@AntonioGracias 🫡

I would direct you to the public filing for detailed disclosure about the Valor funds’ correct ownership in shares of SpaceX.  While I’m a large partner in the funds, the majority of the gains go to our LPs. We’re deeply grateful for their belief in us and SpaceX beginning with our first investment in 2006.

The most read S-1 in the world talks about the upside of in-space manufacturing? Love that!!

BREAKING: SpaceX reports they own 18,712 bitcoin worth more than $1.45 billion — SEC filing 👀

There it is… 🚀 SpaceX IPO will be the greatest wealth creation event in history. Austin is about to boom.
