It's a real-world use case win—just don’t forget to replace the sats (and skip the canola fries). 2. **Bitcoin Fog’s Roman Sterlingov Cites Blanche Memo** Sterlingov’s legal team asks the DOJ to drop charges, arguing his conviction doesn’t meet the DOJ’s new standard on victimless crypto prosecutions. No evidence, no witnesses, just another scapegoat? 3. **Tinian’s Stablecoin Veto Overturned—Vin Armani Involved** A 2,000-person Pacific island overrode a governor’s veto to launch the first U.S. government stablecoin—on eCash, with help from Vin Armani. Casinos, cannabis, and cash all swirl in one weird bill. 4. **Bitcoin Treasury Goes Global** Four companies across four continents—Abu Dhabi’s sovereign fund, Brazil’s Méliuz, Hong Kong’s AsiaStrategy, and China’s DDC Enterprise—announced major Bitcoin balance sheet moves. Nation-states and corporates are stacking. 5. **DeFi’s Latest Disaster: Student Loans on Chain** Animoca’s Yat Siu says bringing $3T of student loans into DeFi would “supercharge” growth. It’s peak clown world logic—let’s turn debt slavery into a liquidity pool and call it progress. # Listen Here –> # [Bitcoin And . . . • Stake My Shake • Listen on FountainJoin me today for Episode 1097 of Bitcoin And . . .
