      So, Wyoming, home of Jackson Hole, where all the “federal” reserve chairs meet, who have been wanting to supplant the dollar with their own central bank digital currency, was the first state to implement a “stable” coin? Can’t say I’m surprised.

      Now wait a minute, Yellowstone National Park is partly in that state. Also a lot of other great state parks. So something good comes from there.
