Africa is building the future. It was an honour for @Susie Violet and @fnew to represent Bitcoin Policy UK and be part of these conversations.

The only orange thing the Labour Party couldn’t ignore this week! Caption this.

Countdown to the Labour Party Annual Conference 2025: just two weeks to go. From 28 September to 1 October, policymakers, industry leaders, and delegates will gather in Liverpool for a pivotal event. For Bitcoin Policy UK, this is an opportunity to engage directly with MPs and provide evidence-based insights into how Bitcoin can strengthen the UK economy. We will highlight the real-world impact of missed opportunities. For example, the UK currently pays wind farms £1 billion a year to switch off turbines when the grid cannot handle excess power, while companies in Texas use surplus renewable energy to mine Bitcoin. The UK could do the same, turning waste into wealth. Our advocacy focuses on three priorities: A clear regulatory framework that supports businesses and encourages innovation Better education for policymakers on Bitcoin and its unique role Progressive policies that leverage renewable resources and unlock new opportunities We invite all attendees to visit Stand B4 in the main exhibition hall to join these important conversations. Mark your calendars and engage in the conversation!

Bitcoin Policy UK Invites Labour MPs to Discuss Bitcoin during Annual Conference 2025 We are pleased to announce that Bitcoin Policy UK has formally invited Labour Party MPs to meet with us at the upcoming Labour Party Annual Conference in Liverpool. 📍 You’ll find us at Stand B4 in the main exhibition hall. Our goal: to provide clear, evidence-based insights into the opportunities and challenges of Bitcoin, and to explain why Bitcoin deserves a distinct regulatory approach - separate from “crypto.” Key topics we’ll cover: 🔹 The distinction between Bitcoin and crypto 🔹 What Bitcoin is (and isn’t) 🔹 Real-world impact on UK businesses & consumers 🔹 Policy priorities for UK innovation & competitiveness We look forward to engaging with policymakers and shaping the conversation around the UK’s economic future.
