Snowden’s speech underscored the necessity for change:
"Acting in secret is not freedom, it’s not the goal".
He highlighted the absurdity of "contorting yourself to be able to fit to pass through the keyholes of the tyranny."
Only the US and China hold more Bitcoin than the UK.
Yet we've done nothing to capitalise on this advantage.
Today, we have written open letters to the Chancellor, @RachelReevesMP , and to the City Minister, @TulipSiddiq , with a paper including simple changes to fix this.

“Straight to journal!?! Which journal?”
My PhD advisor’s comments on my conference paper draft about bitcoin mining load flexibility. Really positive feedback on my study! Instead of submitting this to a conference, we will be submitting to a high impact journal. This is a big deal.
One step closer to finishing my PhD.
Going to get very noisy this week. Just remember #Bitcoin draws in all & any political strand.
The media wants to gaslight & paint us into a political corner. This is to specifically ignore the movement we embody. A movement that seeks to change a broken financial system.
Labour Conference stands are fully booked. We’ll use any bitcoin raised to engage with the UK government & get bitcoin books to MPs.
We are still raising funds for next year’s @UKLabour stand. Please donate to our Geyser fund to orange pill parliament.

*sigh* Labour party conference stands are booked out. 20 deep waiting list *not communicated on the LP website*. We are in the process of identifying alternative events we can engage with MPs and minsters and get some #Bitcoin education into the UK's leaders.
Watch this space.
JUST IN: Bitcoin's CEO issues statement
"Unlike Bitcoin, the electricity that powers a Tesla still comes mainly from fossil fuels.
Once Telsa has data showing their electricity-mix is mainly from sustainable sources, we’ll let their customers use Bitcoin to buy Teslas again."
Our Head of Mining & Energy, Susie Violet Ward, will speak in Nashville next week on bitcoin mining in 2050 and decentralizing hash rate.
If you're attending @TheBitcoinConf, please reach out and say hi.

My team has passed 4 bills into law which defend the right of Bitcoiners in the USA and kill CBDCs. 🇺🇸
Those rights were then adopted by the Republic party platform.
But this has always been the beginning.
Incredible things coming for #Bitcoin in the USA and beyond. 🌎
With perfect timing, the #Bitcoin Bulgaria team have released my full piece on #CBDCs ahead of tonight's debate (thanks @Plamen__Andonov - and also for the invitation to Sofia in the first place!).
Link to the full talk is in the thread, with a short clip below.
Feel free to use any of the slides in your own work fighting back against these instruments of repression and financial control - link also in the thread.
One year ago, we joined forces with @BtcpayServer and @myplebtag to ignite the #Bitcoin payment revolution! 🚀 With #BH2024 around the corner, stay tuned for big announcements and innovative solutions! 🔥🔥
