Worth a repost, folks.

[Jez Casey @Jcastweet]

In 🇬🇧 we have an army of bright, intelligent Bitcoin advocates.

@satmojoe has shone a light globally on this over the last 96 hours with the way his presentation has gone viral. Link below.

We have the seemingly the most disinterested regulators, politicians whom have created the most unfriendly environment in the western world towards #Bitcoin

First @Conservatives and now @UKLabour haven’t truly engaged with @bitcoinpolicyuk over the last few years.

@TheFCA consider Bitcoin a restricted mass market investment whilst also precluding 🇬🇧 retail investors to access the ETF products of Blackrock ,Fidelity and more.

The UK banking sector is particularly restrictive and obtuse. All seem to have either daily and weekly maximum amounts in place or in many cases like @StarlingBank simply don’t allow any transfers to exchanges. There are however work arounds now for 🇬🇧 clients but still so restrictive.

Our energy situation is dire and some very well versed ideas from @bitcoinpolicyuk seemingly falling on deaf ears with Ed Miliband allegedly commenting very unfavourably as to Bitcoin’s very existence.

On top of this 🇬🇧 has apparently 61,000 seized Bitcoin at current market value of £4.5 Billion. With an average 50% CAGR this seems a pretty big deal to me.

The question i want to ask is to @reformparty_uk and their major spokespeople.

@Nigel_Farage @TiceRichard @RupertLowe10 @andreajenkyns

You currently sit at around 180,000 members. With a sensible Bitcoin policy and perhaps some genuine engagement with @bitcoinpolicyuk membership numbers would increase dramatically even though many Bitcoin advocates have most likely joined the party already.

This from @fca states that 12% of UK adults own Digital Assets which equates to nearly 4.5 million people, if accurate.

I simply don’t understand why you arent taking this seemingly obvious opportunity just like your friends in the USA have proven works in terms of sensible policy and embracing a growth industry. Cc @realDonaldTrump @saylor @howardlutnick @EricTrump @SenLummis

[What's The Problem? @satsvsfiat]

Introducing: “What’s The Problem?”

Let’s help *everyone* get to the starting line.

Accessible to all, the story of Fiatello and the Big Red Button is something we can all send *before* the first Bitcoin book / podcast / video.

Please share it with everyone you care about (link below).

Thank you Bitcoin 🧡

[Scott Ellam @btconlyscott]

Nobody can trust an organisation who can't differentiate between Bitcoin (a trillion dollar+ new asset class) and Mickey Mouse coin (crypto memes etc).

You banned the ETN's from UK customers in 2021 - up 800% since 2017

You ban access to all US ETF's including @BlackRock and @Fidelity up 100%+

You restrict UK Bitcoin companies from starting to compete with all other nations

Your financial oppression, is damaging people, companies, and the country.

You might like to look at how @GaryGensler head of the SEC's career went

Engage with @bitcoinpolicyuk as a matter of urgency

There are NO shortcuts in bitcoin.
You must do the work.
Read these 12 essays (in this order):

1. The Bitcoin Reformation (@TuurDemeester)
"The 21st century emergence of Bitcoin, encryption, the internet, and millennials are more than just trends; they herald a wave of change that exhibits similar dynamics as the 16-17th century revolution that took place in Europe."

2. The Bitcoin Central Bank’s Perfect Monetary Policy (@BitcoinPierre)
"The BCB enforces the strictest deposit regulations in the world by requiring full reserves for all accounts."

3. Bitcoin Obsoletes All Other Money (@parkeralewis)
"It does not matter how complex bitcoin is. At the end of the day, bitcoin becomes an A/B test. The need for money is real and individuals will converge on the form of money that best fulfills the function of exchange."

4. Economics of Bitcoin as a Settlement Network (@saifedean)
“Using Bitcoin for consumer purchases is akin to driving a Concorde jet down the street to pick up groceries: a ridiculously expensive waste of an astonishing tool."

5. It’s the Settlement Assurances, Stupid (@nic_carter)
"You can create something which looks cosmetically similar to Bitcoin, but you cannot replicate the settlement assurances which derive from the costliness of the ledger."

6. Decentralization: Why Dumb Networks are Better (@aantonop)
"Bitcoin allows any application to be developed independently, without permission, on the edge of the network."

7. The Bullish Case for Bitcoin (@real_vijay)
"If Bitcoin exists for 20 years, there will be near-universal confidence that it will be available forever, much as people believe the Internet is a permanent feature of the modern world."

8. Bitcoin Becomes the Flag of Technology (@balajis)
"Bitcoin is not about accomplishing change through folk activism. It's a network-based phenomenon which has accomplished a revolution in monetary policy through a billion private actions."

9. Everyone’s A Scammer (@bitstein)
"Long term investors should use Bitcoin as their unit of account and every single investment should be compared to the expected returns of Bitcoin."

10. The Greatest Game (@JeffBooth)
"The best way for people to understand how important Bitcoin is for the future, is to first understand how the existing system amplifies insecurity and how a change to a different monetary policy would produce infinitely better results."

11. Why the Yuppie Elite Dismiss Bitcoin (@Croesus_BTC)
"When you’re in the ivory tower, you think the term 'ivory tower' is a silly misrepresentation of your very normal life; when you’re no longer in the ivory tower, you realize how willfully out of touch you were with the world."

12. Bitcoin is Time (@dergigi)
"if we want to have trust­less money in the digital realm, we must remove any entity that creates and manages timestamps and any single entity that is in charge of time itself."
