Using Nostr to voice a gripe and concern I have.
If I encourage people to buy bitcoin… I could get into serious trouble with the FCA.
The FCA is a bit like the SEC in the US but it’s more draconian.
I had a meeting about this and was given guidance on the matter while in the uk last week.
I don’t live in the uk but I’m still liable. I’m told the new rules are so ridiculous I have to be careful with using rocket emojis when taking about bitcoin on my socials or on youtube.
It’s heinous, ridiculous and I hate it. But the uk is ridiculous and funnily enough, I often hate it.
The uk is not a bitcoin or crypto hub nor can it be with these rules in place.
So Study #bitcoin everyone.
And if you want to buy it, well that’s on you 🤙 🧡

You could consider moving from draconian YouTube to peertube, but that will mean much less money.
I’m in the UK and it’s really sad on many fronts but the bitcoin policy approach is tantamount to financial repression. Keep on keepin’ on Joe.
bless you for taking the harder path
GM Joe, so these 🚀 are dangerous to use in the UK? Imagine these together #bitcoin🚀🌚 omg
This was the kind of “guidance” we received when I was with Bottlepay: down to the types of emojis. Absurd to the extreme.
Godspeed to you, Joe.
You are actually in more danger than most of the bitcoin creators here, because I assume your stuff gets seen by broader audience. So you can get noticed / targeted easier!
Others have 2h long talks between lightning and noster developers. This won't get reccomended as much as your fun short interesting experience type of videos.
don't buy bitcoin... sell the fiat!
FFS FCA……
I don’t make any money and it’s not about youtube. It’s about them seeing what I say or post
Hmm, then it's even harder bcs we need to wait an apocalyptic even for normies to ditch YouTube and big tech.
Peertube wouldn’t help. He’s doxxed.
True, as someone once said, if you step on shit open your fingers
We need to help those martyrs like Joe, on anyway we can using our resources and creativity.

🧨 Use a dynamite emoji instead. 🧨
Completely ambiguous.
🧨 Is he saying it's going up?
🧨 Is he saying it's going down?
🧨 Is he saying it's great just the way it is?
🧨 Is he saying you should buy in dynamite?
🧨 Is he an extremist?
On second thoughts.
You cannot say it, but I can.
BUY BITCOIN.
Why? Because you're not anon, I am.
That's the only thing to learn about this.
