The UK is falling behind in Bitcoin policy.
We need a clear, pro-growth framework that fosters innovation.
Let’s fix this together.
Who should be paying attention?

@nprofile…fntp attended a UK screening of the documentary ‘God Bless Bitcoin’, followed by a panel discussion with Jordan Walker.
The film explores the moral and ethical flaws in our current financial system and how Bitcoin offers an alternative.
A brilliant film and a powerful conversation.

From @npub1wl3…znlx:
The Crypto Asset Reporting Framework – what does this mean for Bitcoin in the UK?
How will it affect your personal safety and security if it’s implemented as planned?
We have today released a research paper and delivered this to HMRC with commentary on recommended changes to the draft legislation.
What’s being proposed? Under the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework or CARF, it’s proposed that tax authorities worldwide will gather and have access to information on cryptocurrency transactions, allegedly to combat tax evasion and ensure compliance with tax laws.
What’s wrong with it? The amount of personal and transaction data that will be gathered and shared is truly staggering. This won’t just be shared with your domestic tax authorities, but with others across the globe. It will include your name, address, date of birth, amount of Bitcoin held or sold or transferred. This is a highly dangerous level of intrusion into your personal and private life, particularly given the increasing frequency of data breaches (examples in our paper) and also the risk of violent physical attacks against Bitcoiners whose details are leaked to or obtained by bad actors. Additionally, the UK’s new draft regulations fail to make clear that none of these reporting requirements will fall upon the developers of free and open source software, as such persons cannot be in a position to comply.
How should it be changed? We recommend two simple changes – that the information being gathered on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency users is severely limited and in a way proportionate to the high risk of personal harm, and that the regulation clarifies that it cannot and shall not apply to the developers of free and open source software.

UK Budget Update for Bitcoin Holders.
HODL = No CGT: No tax if you don’t sell; disposal triggers CGT.
CGT rates are up: Selling bitcoin now incurs 18% for the basic rate (it was 10%) and 24% for the higher rate (it was 20%).
Thanks recap.io for the summary!
