Isle of Man – does it have Bitcoin ATMs with no KYC? this is a disaster when such ATMs have been closed in London …

I’m looking on the map for that island, can someone spell it out please ?

I wish you would stop this nonsense about FCA regulation.. or the US CFTC, SEC version. They are there to protect the investor against scammers & chancers not stifle innovation.

New York and London's so-called Principles Space are actively nudging the cryptocurrency world into the mainstream, and release all that pent up do$h of the world's largest funds.. institutional investors.. and UK USA retail clients into the gagging market. Unless of course you prefer btc and the alts to remain an outlier asset and at the mercy of the chancer. It will be the ones that manage to convince the CFTC of their integrity that will succeed NOT the ones trying to find some onshore heaven to boost profits.

The agencies of the two big markets just stipulate that cryptos have about twenty odd principles to adhere to.. and plenty of leeway in how that is achieved. These rules aren't that extreme or rigid. You just have to: post results. ensure no manipulation. ensure financial integrity of each transaction. guarantee against cyberthreats.. etc.. and pay your tax. It's Principles Based.. they don't look at specific products per se. The exchange will submit a new product for product certification then they look at leverage, overseas transactions, and risk and make sure theres a set of resources there to stop a waterfall effect when a default happens. However, at present the Silicon Valley crypto-techs claim their protocols are a paradigm shift and believe the current regs cannot be applied to their models.

Well, those old enough remember that exact same argument back in the 80s & 90s.. with the arrival of complex SWAPs of intangible assets wrapped up in a futures contract. Funnily enough minow ICE started out as an unregulated exchange trading NATGAS swaps. They now own the NYSE!

So, Vitalik Buterin should divert some of his enormous brain power into working out how a bunch code can be regulated across borders and traded on a regulated platform.. instead of having enormous sums of an intangible asset siting on his balance sheet that can never be written up. THEN you will see your crypto (or a chosen few) going to the moon.. instead of relying on looking into your moocharoo teacup at the tea leaves with your predict the present indicators.. der.

Hello Ben…Best of luck in you move…sounds like a great place to be…except the winter months…and then you get the Golden Visa in Portugal and you are all set.

Good for you that you moved out of UK. They really don’t get it. France is pretty much the same thing

Hello Ben can you tell me if your email from statoshis mines is still active. I confirmed several times my PIVX adres and on the site is still written "waiting for email confirmation". I wrote already 2 times but no answers so can you give me a mail adres to send you another mail?

Two countries in England, England (obviously) then the real power and corruption, the independent entity called the city of London. The in audited BoE f#cks us over continually. How much gold do they have..no one knows. They have no legal obligation, it's a separate country.

Good luck in your move!

Love your new video, looking forward to the next one . So did you manage to sell all of your uk rental properties ?
