When you think there's no hope left. Remember the lobsters in the tank at the Titanic's restaurant.


There is no problem "solved" by compulsory Digital ID that cannot be solved in a better and less freedom-infringing way. We don't need it and we don't want it.

I firmly oppose the government’s plans for compulsory digital ID cards. This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous. It is excessive state interference — and must be resisted.

UK 30 year yield in blue, US in red. First time this century the UK has had to pay more to borrow than the US, and the rise looks inexorable. This is far more important than 100% of what passes for political commentary in the UK. This is reality.

Policy is often framed in zero sum terms. This is reductive and unambitious. But whatever, let’s use the lens for copyright & AI. Image we have a compulsory licensing rule, meaning anyone training a model needs to pay for all the data they use. Who wins and who loses?

I would like to thank the @TheFCA for protecting me from these gains by banning Bitcoin ETFs in the UK.

You don't have to ask to pay extra tax. Just give them a ring and hand it over - or, if it came via a taxpayer funded subsidy system in the first place, back.

Tax the rich – do it now. Start with me.

Still one of the greatest posts of all time.

Most people don't talk enough about how psychologically damaging inflation is. I honestly think the pervasive "things just keep getting harder" feeling can largely be attributed to prices constantly grinding upwards. Absolute hope killer.

I have vastly more regard for the fringiest of fringe internet nutjobs, than for the losers scraping an ignominious existence making stale clickbait about them for anyone sufficiently out of touch to get their internet reporting from the Guardian


Just a note on index inclusion: afaik (well, as far as chatGPT knows 😅) you can't list on both the AIM and the LSE Main Market, so SWC are going to have to choose. From what I gather, AIM is easier to list on and arguably 'more appropriate' for a company like SWC - so if they…


I've been digesting the spaces today and have some thoughts: 1) I'm not sure @asjwebley appreciates just how neurotic we all are about increasing the amount of bitcoin held asap 😂 Jokes aside, I tend to agree with @BitcoinMicropig about cash and mNAV: sure cash is an asset, but…

The UK is falling behind in Bitcoin policy.  We need a clear, pro-growth framework that fosters innovation.  Let’s fix this together.  Who should be paying attention? Please retweet & tag. bitcoinpolicy.uk/policy

There is no money in high-brow discussion on the internet for the same reason there is no money in high-brow discussion in print. It's not the medium. It's the size of the customer base. A new software platform can't fix this problem. The solution is supporting new institutions.

There is no social media, software, or algorithmic solution to truthful, generative, high-brow discussion. I wish tech people would finally accept this. The experiment is finished! The results are in and they are negative! The solution is the old one: new curated institutions.
