PANews reported on October 17th that according to The Block, Florida lawmakers have begun the 2026 legislative session with plans to include Bitcoin in the state's arsenal of financial instruments. House Bill 183, introduced in the Florida House of Representatives, would allow the state's chief financial officer to invest up to 10% of designated public funds (including general revenue funds, budget stabilization funds, and various trust funds) in "digital assets" and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). If passed, the bill would also authorize the state board of governors to invest up to 10% of the Florida Retirement System Trust Fund in digital assets. The bill defines digital assets as including Bitcoin, tokenized securities, and NFTs, and sets strict custody and control requirements. Assets can be held in the custody of the chief financial officer, a qualified custodian, or through an SEC-registered ETF. HB 183 positions Bitcoin as a potential store of value and inflation hedge for state funds and would also allow Florida residents to use digital assets to pay certain taxes and fees. HB 183 is currently awaiting House committee assignment and hearing. If advanced, it would still require Senate approval and the governor's signature to become law.PANews reported on October 17th that according to The Block, Florida lawmakers have begun the 2026 legislative session with plans to include Bitcoin in the state's arsenal of financial instruments.

Earth’ Has A Girlboss Problem And Wendy Is A Mary Sue
The post Earth’ Has A Girlboss Problem And Wendy Is A Mary Sue appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The main problem with Alien: Earth, in its first seven episodes, is the idiot ball, which I explained in my previous post about the Hulu series. Nearly every character is incredibly stupid, or at least makes constantly stupid choices at every turn. This extends to the factions and organizations involved. The show probably ought to have been called Alien: Security Breach, but of course in order to actually breach security, you’d need some there in the first place. Spoilers ahead. On the USCSS Maginot, in Episode 5, almost every character, in nearly every situation, took a turn carrying the idiot ball, including a trained scientist eating her lunch in a biolab and then failing to secure two alien containers. The only reason for this incessant stupidity? To drive the plot forward. Fans of the show excused this and other bad character choices by saying something like: “This crew isn’t the cream of the crop. Nobody goes on a 65-year space mission unless they’re desperate.” You can’t expect people on an important space voyage to actually be smart! This misunderstands human nature entirely. Humanity has always had its adventurers and trailblazers, people who would go seek out “The New World” on voyages that could take months, and expeditions that could take years or even entire lifetimes, risking life and limb. These people were not the bottom of the barrel. In a future with space travel, scientists and explorers would compete to go to space, even if it meant leaving loved ones behind. They would train rigorously for the honor. Only the best of the best would be sent on a crucial mission to retrieve dangerous alien species and bring them back to Earth. I have a question: If these scientists and engineers and the rest of the crew were really just…
