Excellent to hear. #CBDCs naturally have no benefits for you, a user. They only benefit those who want to monitor and control you. And who among us is a fan of more surveillance, and more control?

Hey #Bitcoin and anti #CBDC crew - the Digital Pound Foundation (who are pushing for a totalitarian spycoin over here) are asking for suggestions for who should join them. I've already suggested they should reach out to the Chinese Communist Party; do add your thoughts too!

Clear summary here from Decentra Suze of where we are in the UK. A slight thawing in the frosty hostility of Financial Conduct Authority, following the successful #Bitcoin ETF launches in the US and the ongoing applications in HK. Listing in the UK has become unattractive - can we fix it?

Live in 24 hours! Very excited to be joining this discussion on #Bitcoin mining in emerging economies (though I'll be taking a back seat on this one given the expert firepower that we have speaking). Thanks again to Bitcoin Reach for the invitation.

You think that’s money in your bank account? It’s not – that money isn’t really there at all. What do I mean by this? All modern monies, with the exception of silver, gold and #Bitcoin, are liability monies – by which I mean that they are nothing more than a promise by someone

This week may feel very very dark for #Bitcoin and for those who believe that all people, everywhere, should be able to transact freely with each other, as one of their most basic freedoms. But know that this fight was always coming; and we would not be facing it right now if

As we digest the past week in #Bitcoin, have a read of 'A Cypherpunk's Manifesto'. As important today as it was thirty years ago.

Of course, this would never happen to every single piece of your spending history if the #CBDC data honey pot were hacked, whether held at the bankofengland or by a payment interface provider. That would never happen. Would it?
