The UK government is regulating Bitcoin the same way it regulates meme coins and the consequences are already showing. Susie Violet Ward of Bitcoin Policy UK joins Brandon Green to explain why the FCA's blanket approach is dangerous, how KYC data leaks are fueling a wave of violent physical attacks across Europe, and why Bitcoin mining could save the UK over a billion pounds a year in wasted energy. They also tackle the stablecoin debate and Susie's year-long fight to get the BBC to correct false Bitcoin reporting.🔶 Brandon Green - BTC Inc CEO🔶 Susie Violet Ward - CEO & Co-Founder of Bitcoin Policy UK and Bitcoin JournalistChapters: 2:45 — The State of Bitcoin Regulation Across the Pond10:30 — The FCA's Flawed Approach to Bitcoin Regulation in the UK16:40 — Why Separating Bitcoin from Crypto Is the Top Priority22:00 — Stablecoin Legislation and the US Regulatory Parallel27:15 — KYC, the FATF Travel Rule, and the Rise of Violent Wrench Attacks32:28 — Susie's 13-Month Battle with the BBC Over False Reporting40:16 — Alex de Vries and the Mainstream Media Misinformation Pipeline46:09 — Bitcoin Mining as the Solution to the UK Energy Crisis52:21 — Finland, Farm Sovereignty, and Real-World Mining Use Cases57:14 — Stablecoins Are CBDCs by the Back Door#Bitcoin #BitcoinMining #BitcoinRegulation #BitcoinUK #FCA #BitcoinPolicy #KYC #FinancialSurveillance #WrenchAttack #Stablecoins #CBDC #BitcoinMagazine #BitcoinPodcast #SelfCustody #ProofOfWork #BitcoinMiningEnergy #SeparateMoneyAndState #BitcoinFreedom #DigitalAssets #BitcoinStrategicReserve #FATFTravelRule #BBCBitcoin #SusieVioletWard #BitcoinConference #EnergyGrid #DemandResponse #BitcoinAdoption #MonetarySovereignty #FinancialFreedom #BitcoinEducationDISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this show are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of BTC Inc., Bitcoin Magazine, or any affiliated entities.
