ZH comment sections are always a dumpster fire, but they go full nuclear meltdown whenever Bitcoin is mentioned. That site is infested with salty gold bugs.

As a UK citizen I can't say this interests me too much. I have some wealth locked up in pension schemes that I cannot access for a few decades, which I currently allocate to Bitcoin adjacent stocks (MSTR, miners). I guess I would prefer something like a spot ETF? Perhaps this is a stepping stone towards that.

Really though, if the UK wants to be seem as a Bitcoin-friendly hub, then it first needs to allow bitcoin.org to distribute Bitcoin Core to citizens and stop enabling CSW's nonsense. It also needs to lift the ban on Bitcoin ATMs.
