#Bitcoin: A Solution to the UK’s Costly Financial Regulation

The FCA’s increasing regulatory burden lacks empirical proof of economic benefits but raises costs, limits access to advice, and reduces competitiveness. Bitcoin offers a transparent, decentralised, and low-cost alternative that could:

✅ Eliminate intermediaries, reducing compliance costs

✅ Increase transparency, removing the need for costly audits

✅ Enable self-custody, reducing complex custody regulations

✅ Lower investment costs, closing the "advice gap"

✅ Minimise FCA overreach, replacing bureaucracy with cryptographic proof

By embracing Bitcoin, the UK could cut financial red tape, empower investors, and create a more competitive economy.
