On the next muggy Tuesday, when the air in Brasília is already thick with gossip of scandals grand and small, the Chamber of Deputies will quietly unfurl a debate that smells of espresso, ambition, and pure speculation. Imagine lawmakers-some still dizzy from Carnival-peering at spreadsheets on which nineteen billion little digital coins (we’re told each coin answers to the name “BTC”) shimmer like cheeky fireflies. Are these coins guardian angels, shielding the real from gusts of currency storms? Or merely a fashionable bauble for the national treasury, the monetary equivalent of a must-have pair of Havaianas worn to a solemn state dinner?
They call the thing “RESBit,” as though giving an acronym turns hasty whimsy into solemn policy. Picture this: August the 20th, the hearing room half full because half the deputies are still on congressional recess somewhere with palm trees and caipirinhas. Regulators mutter into microphones, banks wave risk matrices like medieval scrolls, and crypto CEOs-who, by the look of them, have only recently graduated from telling their parents “I swear this NFT thing is the future!”-now advise the republic. Diego Kolling, master of Méliuz, will proclaim that the blockchain is sturdy; Julia Rosim, she of ABcripto and Bitso fame, will remind everyone that democracy plus volatility equals opportunity (and perhaps indigestion).
And who shall hold custody of Satoshi’s imaginary suitcases stuffed with invisible money? The Central Bank, of course-that august institution whose governor once confessed he still balances his household budget on paper because he mistrusts Excel. Alongside him, the Finance Ministry, whose officials already juggle IMF reports, soybean futures, and the eternal hope of a balanced budget that never quite balances. Performance reviews are promised; risk assessments, quarterly-because nothing reassures the populace like paperwork filed on schedule by people whose greatest daily risk is whether to have pão de queijo or açaí for breakfast.
One cannot ignore the patriotic romance of the tale: Brazil, Latin America’s undisputed heavyweight of crypto day-trading (seventy-six billion dollars floated through exchanges last year-enough reais to tile Copacabana in gold), is poised to leap ahead of cousins Argentina and Mexico, who still flirt with dollarization like teenagers afraid of commitment.
Deputy Luiz Philippe-descendant of emperors, wearer of impeccable linen-has insisted that before any bill is allowed to age like fine cachaça, the monetary authorities must pronounce their technical blessings in triplicate. A wise precaution: after all, the last time the country rushed into something financial, we got a currency called the “cruzeiro real,” which now exists only as a nostalgic punchline.
What awaits the proposal? Four committees will chew it slowly like cattle in the Pantanal. Then full plenary votes, senatorial squabbles, press conferences, late-night amendments, and, if fortune smiles, a signing ceremony where the president pretends to understand QR codes. If approved, Brazil will vault onto world newspapers as “the largest economy to put a meme asset in the vault”-a headline certain to make European central bankers clutch their pearls and their negative-yield bonds. El Salvador, bless its volcano-powered heart, will send a congratulatory tweet; China will pretend not to see, but will quietly mint another million digital yuans just in case.
In the end, dear reader, the whole affair may end as a footnote in economic textbooks or the preface to the next great monetary miracle. If nothing else, it promises splendid theater-parliamentary speeches peppered with “hash rate,” “cold storage,” and phrases that will stump Google Translate. The safest prediction is this: on the morning after the debate, whether the reserve is born or buried, Brazilians will still line up for pão de queijo, argue about football, and treat inflation like an in-law who overstays Christmas. And somewhere, Satoshi will grin into his anonymous beard.

Consult licensed adults before doing anything rash-and maybe back up your seed phrase on actual paper, not a napkin from the churrascaria.
