It's a fair question given all the headlines.

Sometimes a visualization is best.

There's lots of debate about how bitcoin could be used as a national security tool.

What's not a debate is that bitcoin's significance as a protocol, technological innovation, store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account is now part of the national conversation.

A common criticism:

"Bitcoin has no use case."

And yet, even during the global conflict, countries are conducting trade in bitcoin.

Regardless of your politics, this is a remarkable statement about the world's soundest money.

The Tennessee Bitcoin Reserve Act is making progress and has been referred to the Finance Ways and Means Subcommittee.

We've been on the Hill this week speaking with lawmakers, providing education, and answering questions.

Bitcoin is the future for Tennessee, its residents, and businesses of all sizes.

🇺🇲 Texas is the first U.S. state to buy Bitcoin.

[Tennessee Bitcoin Alliance @TennesseeBTC]

You can now use bitcoin as collateral to buy a home — and it's available today.

Better Home & Finance and Coinbase just launched a mortgage product where you pledge bitcoin as collateral for a second loan that covers your down payment. Fannie Mae has agreed to purchase these loans like any other conforming mortgage. Same rates. Same protections. No private mortgage insurance on the collateral loan.

You don't sell your bitcoin. You don't trigger a tax event. Your crypto stays in custody and comes back when the loan is repaid.

For anyone sitting on bitcoin but short on cash for a down payment — that barrier just disappeared.

Sound money, strong Tennessee.

[Tennessee Bitcoin Alliance @TennesseeBTC]

Our colleague, Stuart Lackey, will be hosting an event @bitcoinpark_ in just one week:

Tennessee, like every other state, has embarrassing "pork" expenditures.

So we created a tool based upon thought a experiment:

What if those wasted moneys were used to purchase bitcoin?

*WARNING* This might make you angry, sad, frustrated, or all of the above!
