### Episode 1083 of Bitcoin And . . . is LIVE!

  - El Salvador continues accumulating Bitcoin while complying with IMF loan terms by using a loophole (Bitcoin Office outside the fiscal sector). The episode debates the risks and ethics of blending IMF funds with Bitcoin accumulation, highlighting Bukele’s defiance.
  - Tether’s gold-backed XAUT stablecoin (7.7 tons of gold reserves) and its role in global economic uncertainty. The episode ties this to Tether’s $13.9B profit and its potential to prop up the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency.
  - Coinbase’s new Bitcoin Yield Fund offering 4–8% returns via cash-and-carry arbitrage. The host warns of risks (e.g., past failures like FTX) and cautions against "degenerate gambling" with Bitcoin.
  - The Slice payout system modernizes Bitcoin mining pool rewards, avoiding penalties for downtime during demand response or grid participation. This innovation addresses energy grid integration and transparency.
