- **Australia Court Ruling Could Redefine Bitcoin as Money**  
A judge ruled that Bitcoin may be considered money rather than property, possibly leading to $640M in tax refunds. If upheld on appeal, this could shift global legal precedent.
- **Franklin’s Payroll Yield Scheme is Peak DeFi Madness**  
Franklin’s plan to lend out payroll funds for DeFi yield is called out as reckless and likely illegal. The episode compares it to BlockFi-era nonsense and warns workers to speak up.
- **Coinbase Faces Biometrics Lawsuit in Illinois**  
Coinbase is being sued under BIPA for collecting facial biometrics without consent. With over 10,000 arbitration demands and up to $60M in potential damages, the lawsuit exposes a huge compliance failure.
- **Steak 'n Shake Accepts Bitcoin at All Locations**  
The chain now accepts Bitcoin via Lightning at all 500+ locations. David explores why this matters for BTC adoption, marketing, and why even small sats-on-balance-sheets experiments are vital.
- **Bitcoin Treasury Moves & Saylor Lawsuit**  
Abraj Restaurants in Bahrain becomes the first Middle East public firm to adopt a BTC treasury. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy and Saylor face a class-action lawsuit over alleged misleading profit projections.
