I'm long on global political incompetence. #Bitcoin

@akibablade @jackmallers @TheFCA @RishiSunak sort out these ridiculous UK specific regulations. They are very backwards in a sector we ought to be leading

@jordkpw @strikebtc_uk @Strike Yes that is how lightning works

[Freddie New @freddienew]

Great news! @Strike has finally launched in the UK.

If (like us) you've been eager to get going with the app, please take a moment to watch the onboarding walkthrough below.

Because of @TheFCA's regrettable and in our view incorrect decision to label #Bitcoin as a 'restricted mass market investment', @strike are required to ensure that (i) new customers self-categorise as a particular type of investor, (ii) answer a set of questions covering several suggested areas, and (iii) wait for 24 hours after passing this quiz before they buy any Bitcoin.

Note that these 'customer frictions' are not there because of Strike. They exist because the FCA does not believe you are sensible enough to know what you want to do with your own money.

We've prepared the short vid below to give you an idea of how the onboarding flow looks, taking you through some of the questions and showing the countdown to your first buy at the end.

Welcome to the UK at last, @strike and @strikebtc_uk !

[MonkeBusiness @MonkiBusiness1]

Wahoo so excited! Just 24hrs to wait after registration because of daft UK regulations trying to slow down Bitcoin to be on par with traditional banks that take so much longer to do anything.

Nvidia now trades at over 21x forward sales, up from 12x two months ago. This is a significant premium over Microsoft (12x) and Apple (8x). $NVDA

Perfect line from @LukeGromen

“This chart shows we are in the early innings of $130 trillion bond market cramming into the 65 T equity market, 14T gold market, and 1.3 T BTC market…and every time this drives UST yields “too high”, US policymakers backfill the bond market w/ “more USD liquidity”, wash/rinse/repeat.”

[Mark Moss @1MarkMoss]

Speaking at a Macro Conference and I was told #Bitcoin has failed because Wall Street has captured 4% of the float

But um… did you know

74% of Equities controlled by BlackRock, State St and Vanguard

60% of gold supply held by Central Banks

40% real estate owned by institutions

Oh and, of course Fiat controlled by Gov/CBs

So… All the sudden the 4% of BTC held doesn’t sound so bad.

Fiscally sound pension funds see the value of #Bitcoin.

@kshecksel1969 @info_maiden @BGatesIsaPyscho Do you not think that the attacker would also be carrying a gun in this situation? Instead of the non lethal knife injuries sustained there would be several people with lethal gun shot wounds. A stat I heard is that the leading cause of deaths in children in the US is due to guns
