@DecentraSuze @bitcoinpolicyuk We fully understand this struggle! The show must go on, whatever form that is, and will evolve and flourish again I’m sure of it. 🫂 from @ktreywalsh and the scrappy TPB team

After 3 years at @BitcoinPolicyUK, having worked as Head of Mining and Energy before becoming CEO, I'm stepping back from this role.  We've achieved so much with limited resources: delivering serious Bitcoin only policy engagement and gaining credibility with UK policymakers. We are all proud of that legacy.  However, the required funding did not materialise, so BPUK is working towards minimal maintenance mode by 31 March 2026. All remaining funds and donations will help keep the work alive, with the rest held in Bitcoin in hope we can revive the organisation when the UK is ready. With Bitcoin at 60% dominance and the UK a leader in finance and computer science, this should have been a clear priority. The UK still needs to move beyond its altcoin and speculation phase. It's not over, it's just not the right time. We are still early.  Full announcement here: bitcoinpolicy.uk/blog-1/f/annou… Huge thanks to all our amazing volunteers, advisors, members, supporters, contributors, and everyone who's engaged constructively. The expertise and ideas are there, the real gap is resourcing principled Bitcoin voices in policy.

I am so happy to have helped make this happen! 🧡 🎉

@Bitcoinchama TPB believes in the power of bitcoin as tool for community empowerment, economic mobility, and financial freedom, particularly for those often excluded from the traditional financial system and banking around the world. Bitcoin Chama embodies this belief.

Bitcoin is for Immigrants Gm

You cannot have justice and agency for the working class and vulnerable people without financial freedom and financial privacy 👁️🔐 The government and corporations continue to infringe on these crucial civil liberties and human rights.

Bitcoin is better money for protestors ✊

The need for A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin (BitcoinProgressive.com) and the work of @TPB_Inc is more important now than ever. From time to time, I'll get a message like this and it reminds me that the hard work is worth it. 🧡 Also, note the shout out to @LynAldenContact!

Our hearts break for Minneapolis, lives lost & families shattered 💔 We aim to show that Bitcoin is the people’s money and provides incredible social good use cases. To that end, we plan to issue direct grants/funding for families affected, and resistance grants. Stay tuned.

@juwon_ogunseye Yes we are, apologies for the delay. Notices will be sent out very early into the new year 🙏

Thank you to everyone who submitted an application! The committee is currently in review and grant winners will be notified following our upcoming board meeting by early December. One thing is clear - Bitcoin’s social good use cases are making incredible global impacts 🌎🌍 🌏

There’s nothing “progressive” about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). They risk mass financial surveillance, centralized control, and weaker civil liberties. Progressives should be skeptical. Read more in this op-ed from @EconWithNick ⤵️ progressivebitcoiner.org/central-bank-d…

Criminalizing open-source privacy tools is an attack on civil liberties, digital rights, and the freedom to write code. This is a precedent progressives should fight. #pardonsamourai #freesamouri

We’re funding research grants around the globe on economic justice, environmental sustainability & financial inclusion. What better way to celebrate Celeste’s birthday/honor her legacy than donating to the fund in her name today to support these grants: progressivebitcoiner.org/donate/
