Darren Freemantle

Are you the sleeper Bitcoiner in your company? Do you wish you had a resource that you could use to present to the Chief Risk Officer explaining why it's important to start looking into adding bitcoin to the balance sheet? @MyFirstBitcoin_ Gotchu, fam! @Bitcoinshire @freemantledj @exitingfiat @HectorAlvero have written the material! "This is a targeted and strategic guide aimed at Risk Managers to understand the Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of adding bitcoin to their balance sheets." fountain.fm/episode/s2g7BU…

Well, would you look at that. "Iran is reportedly developing a Bitcoin-linked shipping insurance platform called ‘Hormuz Safe' The platform would reportedly issue marine insurance policies and financial responsibility certificates settled in Bitcoin." (Link below) How many insurance companies now need to suddenly start taking Bitcoin seriously and running risk assessments? @MyFirstBitcoin_ have the material you need if you are the sleeper Bitcoiner within an organisation. Don't leave this to chance and get caught behind the 8-ball when Bitcoin comes to your sector!

@btcculturehub @balajis Thank you so much. So appreciated. 🙏

@DennisLaws95789 @dontdelay There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary government measure.

@freemantledj @dontdelay Assuming it's not a one-off.

Question for supporters of a wealth tax. Assume I have a £200,000 tax bill because someone has (somehow) valued my private company at £20m If I have to sell shares in order to meet pay it, and realise a capital gain in doing so, are you still expecting me to pay capital gains tax too? Because then I’d have to sell more shares to pay tax on the gains I made selling shares to pay tax. And repeat

@jeff_whitton @dontdelay Try compounding that impact over 10-15 years.

@dontdelay @freemantledj No company that is valued correctly and worth continuing will struggle with a 2% tax on its value. You’d be better off putting your money in the bank!

@metric_dos @dontdelay Or moving abroad. Capital flows to where it’s treated best.

@dontdelay @freemantledj You end up closing down the business...

@paystand @MyfirstBitcoin_ @BTCPrague Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the talk.

@MyfirstBitcoin_ @BTCPrague @freemantledj Love seeing this, @MyfirstBitcoin_! Sounds like the Bitcoin Diploma for Organizations will be a game-changer for education in the corporate world.

LIVE from @BTCPrague — the pre-launch of our new curriculum: ✨ Bitcoin Diploma For Organizations. Some of the first Modules are now available on GitHub: github.com/MyFirstBitcoin… 🔜 Stay tuned for the final, designed version!

@SmithyG @Jcastweet @Bitcoinshire @exitingfiat @HectorAlvero @btconlyscott @JayW132 @BitcoinColl Indeed. I had a thought afterward that we should ask the @FT if Bitcoin is on its Risk Register. 🤔

@Jcastweet @Bitcoinshire @exitingfiat @freemantledj @HectorAlvero @btconlyscott @JayW132 @BitcoinColl Great stuff - it’s only a matter of time before every company will have Bitcoin on their risk register…then their balance sheet…then as a means of payment!

Superb discussion. Thanks @Bitcoinshire @exitingfiat @freemantledj @HectorAlvero @btconlyscott @SmithyG @JayW132 @BitcoinColl Recording below.

The risks are ramping up for organisations ignoring the rise of Bitcoin. I am excited to be coming to @BTCPrague to introduce Bitcoin for Organisations - educational content, developed with @MyfirstBitcoin_ designed to support leaders exploring the impact on their organisation.

@dave_stonks Is it really detached from reality? Seems fair enough to me. youtu.be/zmGKUflR6lc?fe…

I'll never understand how people can get this detached from reality.
