@CazooOfficial Driving far away from you fuckers

Be honest… what’s your driving superpower? 💪

@ActivePatriotUK Scummy job !!

The hardest men in Grimsby are out again targeting kids, the elderly and workers on the lowest wage, giving out £100 fines for riding their bikes through town on their way home from work, college and age concern These guys gave a statement about me for filming them fine a child for dropping a cigarette butt, saying they feel alarmed and distressed. Their job is to make people feel that alarmed harassed and distressed that they hand over their details and pay a £100 fine. It's illegal for them to be using fines to children but they're not only fining kids they're threatening kids that try to intervene The more fines these 2 issue the more they get paid, they're not on a hourly rate, they deliberately target our most vulnerable, children and the elderly, there's no wonder people don't come to town no more if it's not these it's gas companys or charities wanting your details

@CazooOfficial Didn't help me when I just bought a car off you though did you, Muppets

@Thesecretinves2 Withdrawals to self custody isn't a taxable event, surely ?

From 1 January 2026, your Bitcoin & crypto exchange has been collecting data for HMRC. Every transaction. Every penny. The first reports have to be filed by 31 May 2027. If you have undeclared UK Bitcoin & crypto gains, this thread is for you 🧵 This is CARF. The OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework. Every UK exchange and crypto service provider must now collect: Full name, address, date of birth Tax residency and NI number Every transaction. Every asset. Every date. Every GBP value. First reporting period: 1 Jan 2026 to 31 Dec 2026. Reports submitted to HMRC by 31 May 2027. HMRC then runs that data against your Self Assessment. The grey zone where most UK crypto holders have lived for the past decade is closing. "But I only swapped some ETH for SOL, I never cashed out." CARF doesn't care. Crypto to crypto swaps, stablecoin conversions, NFT trades, withdrawals to self-custody. All of it gets reported in standardised format, ready for HMRC to reconcile. And it isn't just UK platforms. 40+ jurisdictions are rolling out CARF. Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, OKX, the EU exchanges, Switzerland, Cayman, and more. If your tax residency is UK, the platform is irrelevant. The data finds its way back to HMRC. Now the maths. Failure to declare carries penalties of up to 100% of unpaid tax, plus interest, plus the original liability. A £200,000 undeclared gain at 24% CGT is £48,000 of tax. After max penalties and interest, you can be looking at big bill on a single return. The route out is HMRC's Digital Disclosure Service. Unprompted voluntary disclosures attract dramatically lower penalties. Often 0 to 20%, versus 30 to 100% if HMRC opens an enquiry first. For most holders that's tens of thousands of pounds of difference. Sometimes more. The window is genuinely narrow. Exchanges collect data now. HMRC receives it May 2027. Nudge letters follow. If you have unfiled gains from 2018 onwards, the cheapest time to deal with it is the next 12 months. Not after the file lands on an inspector's desk. None of this changes how Bitcoin or crypto is taxed in the UK. What it changes is whether HMRC knows. From January 2026, the answer is yes. If you want to understand your exposure properly before the data arrives, contact me ASAP and we can review your situation.

@zaidlikesmstr @saylor Do you ever think the UK will see a similar product?

$MSTR Saylor mentioned in a recent interview that the only product he is now comfortable recommending to friends and family is $STRC I couldn’t agree more. I have completely stopped recommending Bitcoin or $MSTR to my close friends and family. And it took me a while to understand why. No matter how valid the thesis is, these investments become so obvious to us in hindsight… that we forget to step outside ourselves. To see it from the perspective of someone with a surface level understanding of money. When the trade goes in their favor, you look like a genius. But the moment volatility hits, no amount of warning about long term holds prepares them. Most lose interest. Most start complaining. And most are disincentivized from buying more, which is the entire point. The goal was never to get someone to buy once. The goal is to get them curious about the way money works… The conversations I find far more productive now are the ones that spark that curiosity. Why is the US government bullish on the asset class? Why is the largest asset manager on the planet bullish on it? Why are major banks interested in custodying it? Why is the President of El Salvador, capitalizing his entire nation on Bitcoin? Those questions do more than any price chart ever could. And even then, once someone has done the work and is genuinely convinced, I still ask them one more thing. Are they truly prepared to watch their portfolio drop more than 50% at any given point? Are they willing to sit through that? If yes, then I encourage them fully But before any of that conversation, there is now $STRC For the first time, there is a product I can recommend to a friend or family member without needing to explain Bitcoin, monetary debasement, or corporate treasury strategy in length. I can just let them sit with a few months of monthly dividends. Let them get comfortable. And once they are, the conversation about what is powering that yield, how a company that went from $1 billion to $60 billion is capitalized on it, and why companies across the world are slowly capitalizing themselves on the same asset, becomes a lot easier to have. $STRC is the bridge. Not just for the capital markets. For the people closest to you. $BTC $MSTR $STRC

@ActivePatriotUK Should maybe try some of the Thai cuisine whilst there instead of McDonald's pal

Never wake n bake in Thailand 😵‍💫 relaxing walk back from macdonalds looking for the beach volleyball, not looking where I was walking, I walked through some freshly laid cement like a dik-ed🤦🏻

While all the players under in posting in sheffiekd, in celebrating the fact I only kissy 4 baka instead of 5 balks #cabthittgebalkfsrenough

@Thesecretinves2 @HLInvest Is there any update of this post

I have been asked a lot about the Strategy offering $STRC and the tax treatment of pay-outs in the UK This is still in query. It appears brokers ARE applying tax, depending on what vehicle you buy it within (ISA, SIPP etc). Below is a reply from @HLInvest following my query. It looks like they are still investigating the correct tax treatment. I will keep my eye on this and update as I have more info. I appreciate @saylor has stated this is a return of Capital but it appears the brokers are applying US Withholding taxes and possibly treating as a dividend. #Strategy #STRC

@saylor Launch in the UK 🙏

Strategy is proposing to pay semi-monthly dividends on $STRC, instead of monthly. No change to the annual dividend obligations or dividend rate. These proposed changes are intended to stabilize price, dampen cyclicality, drive liquidity, and grow demand.

@BitcoinColl Peter has done one hell of a job for a lot longer than 18months! WBD!

@YorksRose_84 Remember when you said the residents in Bentley were all frightened? Well this has a similar reaction

Do we have any updates on the Fuel Protest?

@saylor @Strategy Wish I could get in the UK

One penny of volatility. $526M of liquidity. Closed at par. $STRC

@2147mill Your taxed on the way out with a sipp

Controversial: Most people shouldn't max their ISA before contributing to their pension. £10,000 into ISA = £10,000 invested. £10,000 into SIPP = £12,500 invested. You get 25% more capital working for you. Tax wrappers aren't equal.

@ActivePatriotUK Prices are going up due to debasement of money, ie; the hidden tax the government call inflation which we all accept as 'normal'. Inflation is not the norm, in fact deflation is the norm.

I queued up for over an hour tonight to get the last ever £3 fish supper from the cheapest chippy in the UK before the prices go up Stan and his family have been feeding the local community for over 20 years, they charge £3 for haddock and chips, and a sauce, under a third of the UK average price of £10. The shop is in one of the most deprived areas of the town, where many struggle to put food on the table His prices mean people eat a meal at a price they can afford The price of fish has risen dramatically over the last few weeks going from around £1.50 per kilo to £3.70 Mathews chippy prides itself on serving the community they supply me for FREE all my meals I provide to the homeless in my town they are a credit to the community and a jewel in our crown they put the great into Grimsby but they're too struggling with the costs of everything rising Tonight saw me served the last ever £3 fish supper before prices rise on Tuesday to £3.50, please show me a meal that can match this in the UK for £3.50 right on your doorstep in the heart of your community

@Rajatsoni Need this in the UK!

Buying rental properties is stupid when $STRC exists 11.5% dividend Paid monthly Barely any volatility Backed by the best property in the world (Bitcoin) Real estate investing is just another job $STRC gives you more cash flow with less work

@AmitDesai1978 @MartinSLewis 15% withhold tax plus a platform fee depending where it is, still more than an ISA

@MartinSLewis Strc in a stocks and shares isa pays 11%+

Trading 212's 4.68% cash ISA rate (new customers only, no transfers at this rate) is avail via most 3rd party sites eg comparison sites. Go direct & you won't currently get the bonus that pumps it up to 4.68%, so be careful. Rates are changing sometimes by the minute as its ISA season, so always check

@JM_speakss Wish we could do this in the UK.

Borrow $71,000 today at 7.5% interest. Instead of buying Bitcoin outright… Buy $STRC. It currently pays about 11.5% annually and pays monthly dividends. That means the asset is paying you 4% more than your borrowing cost. Let’s do the math. $71,000 in STRC $8,165/year in dividends. Your loan costs you $5,325/year. That leaves roughly $2,800/year profit. Now take that spread and buy Bitcoin every month. The bank finances the asset. The asset finances the Bitcoin. If STRC stays at par and the dividend holds… You’ve basically turned the banking system into a Bitcoin DCA machine. Sometimes the simplest trades are the most powerful.

@BitcoinOnly23 @Thesecretinves2 Yup! I think it just means CGT when I sell... If I ever sell :)

@mickyshipo @Thesecretinves2 Gutted. Sorry to hear that, so frustrating! But we are welcome to literally gamble all our money away...

UK regs striking again 🇬🇧 Crypto ETNs getting booted from Stocks & Shares ISAs in April. Want BTC exposure in your ISA? May have too search for alternates again. 1 step forward..... 2 steps back

@Thesecretinves2 @BitcoinOnly23 I have an etn on free trade currently 40% down which I'm gonna have to sell 🙃

@BitcoinOnly23 No No, this is only ETN products, not Bitcoin Treasuries
