This probably relates to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) (Amendment) Order 2023. It has to be “in the course of business”, basically if you want to profit, you must comply. Both bitkey and ledger are blocking their own blog sites to UK users in order to remain compliant - probably whilst they attempt to register with the FCA - at which point these pages will return. I’m not defending this and the UK state is increasingly authoritarian but it’s probably better to avoid hyperbole and be accurate. For the time being at least, we’re still free to talk, teach and publish about Bitcoin. I still remember a lot of NGU bitcoiners crying for “better compliance” and “clear regulation”. Well in the UK, it’s here now. Cheers for that.
