U.K. crypto people do not let this stand. Spread this far and wide! Do not let these perpetrators get away with such attacks.
if you live in the uk and do crypto get the fuck out
just got my house invaded, taped up held at knife point & robbed for $800k
in so much shock i dont know what the fuck to do, fuck this country. No this is not satire, i fucking wish it was.

Two months ago, Stacking DAO staked only STX.
Today we stake over $100M across STX and BTC, all earning on @Stacks.

HMRC wants more power over financial data. The problem is that Bitcoin is not a bank account.
Once names, home addresses and tax IDs are linked to a Bitcoin address, that information can stay connected to a public ledger indefinitely.
Europe is already seeing the consequences when crypto holders’ identities and holdings are exposed.
France saw 19 verified physical attacks on crypto holders in 2025. A French tax official was charged after using government software to look up crypto investors' details and passing data to criminals.
I spoke to @Recap_io, @invity_io, @BullBitcoin_ and @KnightbridgeTax about what the UK and EU rules could mean for privacy, self-custody and physical security.
Tax enforcement should not create a target list.

Monzo should be IPO’ing in London.
Heathrow’s 3rd runway should have been built 10 years ago.
Our politicians… yeah bus fairs are frozen.
We need to break this mentality! The U.K. Gov should be in full throttle token burn mode!
the uk government's official ai guidance tells civil servants to use gemini flash instead of pro, keep prompts short, and not say thank you to it, for the environment
i do wonder at which point we forked the road. instead of building and using it to automate the work, we write guidance on how to use less of it
we have the attitude of a high school prefect. caring more about the rules than actually doing the work

Torsten, when you find the fool who:
😱 Voted for 330 pages of employment red tape
😱 Hiked NI costs by £25 billion
😱 Jacked up rates on businesses
do be sure to tell them precisely what you think.

This really is nonsensical. Claims £14bn could be raised by increasing CGT to income tax rates.
HMRC estimates that a 10% increase in CGT would *cost* £3.5bn. Exact magnitude can be disputed, but it sure as heck wouldn't raise close to £14bn.

FRUIT FLY BRAIN MINES BITCOIN AT POTENTIAL 10X ASIC EFFICIENCY
Introducing HashFly by @FutureBit, an experimental Bitcoin miner based on a reconstructed fruit fly brain using 2,914 real neuron connections to run SHA-256.
The team says that if the system could be scaled using actual organic neurons, it could theoretically hash at roughly 1 W/TH, around 10x more energy efficient than leading 3nm silicon ASICs.
For now, it’s an experiment. But biologically inspired Bitcoin mining is officially a thing.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claims describe a humorous meme visualization of simulated fruit fly connectome data deciding minimal SHA-256 attempts, not a real experimental miner or product by FutureBit.

If Dario wants to slow down the pace of AI, he should just move the company to Europe.
HMRC want new powers to demand records from crypto tax calculators.
No tribunal. No appeal.
Here's the problem: we can't hand yours over.
Recap is end-to-end encrypted. Your portfolio never sits in a form we can open — even if we wanted to.
We built Recap to be hardened against hacks, data breaches and even government over reach. Your Recap account is encrypted with a key you hold, and we do not see.
We've responded to HMRC technical consultation on this, which is overreaching and would create the perception that UK crypto tax calculators report to HMRC, while realistically those abroad would be out of scope. Don't get me started on the security implications!
