“The FCA faces a choice. It can continue down a path that drives businesses away, or it can create a regulatory environment that supports growth while protecting consumers." An important and timely article by @Susie Violet Violet Ward for Forbes on how UK regulators are crushing innovation, stifling growth, pushing companies offshore, and making the UK increasingly hostile to Bitcoin businesses. https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2025/03/18/uk-financial-conduct-authority-drives-out-business-and-hurts-consumers/

Wait - isn't #Bitcoin the thing that people use for illicit activities?

After debasing the GBP for years via money printing, the Bank of England has adopted an aggressive policy of job destruction: via interest rate hikes. It is, ostensibly, aimed at ‘bringing down prices’ and it seems to be ‘working’. Welcome to the absurd world of Central Planning.

In just the first four days of operation, the nine new #BTC ETF providers in the US have directed a staggering $3BN in new funds towards Bitcoin. Combined, they are now worth more than the ETFs for silver, and occupy the second spot for the largest commodity ETFs after gold. This suggests that institutional demand for Bitcoin is potentially enormous, and that Wall St is paying serious attention. Tick tock. Source: Bloomberg

In just a few short years, Blackrock's Larry Fink has shifted from repeating myths like "Bitcoin is for criminals" to talking about how Bitcoin can help to protect people from inflation. He figured out he was wrong, reassessed his position, and is now making Blackrock's trillions of dollars in customer AUM available for investing in #Bitcoin. Everyone will figure this out, eventually.

34 TRILLION USD in $100 bills. Stacks of $1mn, $1BN, $1TR, and $34TR. This is the US National Debt. Global debt levels - including governments, corporations and households - are now around 10x this.

This initiative, receiving substantial backing from Jack Dorsey and other strategic partners, aims to redefine the bitcoin mining process by prioritizing decentralization and miner autonomy. Understanding the fundamentals of bitcoin mining, the role of ASICs, and the dynamics of mining pools becomes crucial in this context, as well as assessing the specifics of OCEAN's launch and its potential impact on bitcoin's price...
