Bitcoin & The Welfare State

This article critiques the UK’s rising government spending and debt, arguing that Labour Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ borrowing strategy is a high-risk gamble. It warns that mismanaged investments and high taxes could lead to economic stagnation, similar to Japan’s “Lost Decade.” I propose adopting Bitcoin as a currency and alternative, emphasising its fixed supply, transparency, and resistance to reckless borrowing. However, volatility and the lack of a central bank make adoption difficult. However, I believe that the organic adoption of Bitcoin will overcome these obstacles over time.

Bitcoin & Taxation

This article examines the history of taxation and government debt, from medieval tithes to modern policies, highlighting recurring issues of mismanagement and unsustainable borrowing. Historical examples like the Southsea Bubble and Napoleonic Wars illustrate the consequences of financial overreach.

In modern times, UK economic strategies, whether Conservative or Labour, are critiqued for failing to address the nation’s £2.6 trillion debt effectively. The article proposes Bitcoin as a transformative solution, offering decentralization and transparency to prevent manipulation and promote accountability in public spending. Despite its potential, widespread adoption faces resistance from those benefiting from the current system.
