TD₿: God Bless Bitcoin, Documentary
TL;DR: If you haven't watched God Bless Bitcoin, here's your reminder to check it out!
Hey Bitcoiners,
God Bless Bitcoin asks the timely question: How do we fix our broken money?
Through in-depth conversations with bitcoin and interfaith religious leaders, the film exposes the broken, unjust, and immoral nature of our current fiat-based monetary system, one that is intimately connected to the military industrial complex and the propagation of war.
The film also shows how and why members of the poor and middle class feel a financial squeeze even when they work hard and lead fiscally responsible lives. God Bless Bitcoin ultimately suggests the ways in which Bitcoin can present alternatives to our current system that are more just, equitable, and peaceful.
Watch it here.

A Bill to Create a ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’ Introduced in the State of Illinois
Illinois lawmakers have introduced a new bill aiming to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the state. Sponsored by Rep. John Cabello, the bill (HB 1844) proposes that the state set aside a portion of its funds to hold Bitcoin as part of its investment strategy.
The initiative is designed to explore the potential benefits of adding Bitcoin to the state’s reserves and enhance financial stability by diversifying its holdings. If passed, Illinois could become one of the first U.S. states to formally incorporate Bitcoin into its public financial strategy.
South Dakota Representative to Introduce Bitcoin Reserve Bill to State House
South Dakota is set to debate a bill that would add Bitcoin to the state's financial reserves, officially recognizing it as part of state assets. Rep. Logan Manhart announced the move on X, calling it a rare opportunity for the government to be proactive.
No specific timeline was given for when the bill will be introduced in the state’s House of Representatives.
Head of Czech Central Bank wants it to Buy Billions of Euros in Bitcoin
The Czech National Bank is considering holding Bitcoin as part of its reserves, with Governor Ales Michl stating that the idea is still under analysis and no decision has been made yet.
If approved, the bank could eventually allocate up to 5% of its €140 billion ($146 billion) reserves to Bitcoin. Michl, who has been leading efforts to diversify the bank's reserves, plans to present the proposal to the bank's board for further discussion.
While acknowledging Bitcoin's significant volatility and the challenges it presents, Michl emphasized that more analysis is needed before any decision is made, stating, "No decision is imminent."
