Episode 1097 of Bitcoin And . . . is LIVE!

  1. Steak 'n Shake Accepts Bitcoin via Lightning
    Steak ‘n Shake now accepts BTC using the Lightning Network at in-store kiosks. 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
