Bitcoin Policy UK
Bitcoin Policy UK’s mission includes helping the public, businesses and policymakers understand Bitcoin. This page records that work, including its Privacy Toolkit, the Learn section on its website, public safety notices for Bitcoin holders, its podcast and its partnership with the London Bitcoin hub Antidote.
Alongside this collective work sits Susie Violet Ward’s reporting on Bitcoin education, financial inclusion and human rights, particularly across Africa, followed by talks and interviews on the same themes.
