Hey my British nostriches, as it looks like we and the greater world will survive another year, I’m feeling like we’re currently in an Orwellian alternate timeline with the labour government at the moment;

censorship is free speech,

increasing taxes in the name of growth,

paying (unproductive) public sector staff what their unions ask for to stop them calling the shots…..

Increased national insurance on all employers, because those running the business aren’t “working people”,

These are the decisions of ministers who really don’t understand the impact of their actions.

We watch our brothers and sisters over the pond, some still crying about “however could the uninformed masses vote for that oaf” but knowing the reduction of government and acceptance of #bitcoin will likely supercharge their growth, while we effectively fumble in the metaphorical regulatory darkness.

I have no faith that Rachel Reeves has spent even 5 minutes understanding the value of the billions of Bitcoin the uk has seized (it’s of no interest to “Rachel from complaints”). Likely considering her mentor as someone with “useful policies and sensible ideas” to guide her actions. I worry that I will see history actually repeating, but rather than selling physical gold, selling the country’s digital replacement.

Rachel Reeves’s potential mistake would be so much greater than Gordon Brown’s, which is referred to far and wide. As an individualist I don’t care but I have some national pride. #bitcoin #onwards #grownostr #shitshowbritshow

100%. Great British Peso so fucked rn.

👌🫡🙌. Sitting back with my bit 🍿, 🤦‍♂️ on the daily.

And Kier asking for ideas about how to stimulate the economy. Stating this is a managed decline implies the ‘powers that be’ have some competence. This is downright incompetence from people sitting in Westminster and links to nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx idea that MP’s should have a history of running big business and Lee Kuan Yew running Singapore like a tech CEO. Wonderful overview Dug. Looking forward to your substack in 2025.

Thanks, mr obnoxious has really got me thinking over the last few months. I loved sharing the experience of the new cabinet that qualified them for their new roles…….. what, another person who did PPE and then went to advise/be a dog’s body for a sitting MP?

Ha ha ha, a Substack has crossed my mind, but a balance between the dog profile pic writer or the fiat goon with a jacket and tie is a choice for the new year.
