Philip Hammond, who served as U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer under former Prime Minister Theresa May from 2016 to 2019. He's joining U.K.-based digital asset custody startup Copper as a senior advisor.

Lord Hammond called the company "a true pioneer of digital asset investment technology" and implied his appointment could jumpstart the company's global ambitions: "If we can bring together the best of Britain—entrepreneurs, industry, government, and regulators—to create and enable a blockchain-based ecosystem for financial services, we will secure the UK’s global leadership in this field for decades ahead."

What did I say Roy?

"Bitcoin to $85k by November 20th

Another bold prediction! Be assured it’s not without some hours of study. So far 50/50 with both previous attempts at price and date predictions but 100% with both price predictions. Can this be the 3rd?

On the above daily chart price action has printed a new all time high. A close above the orange line is now needed to confirm support on the previous all time high.

This trade is confirmed with a close of $59k or above by October 25th and voided if below. Why is it important? A close here will print the first full bodied weekly candle above the previous all time high. That is incredibly bullish . See weekly chart below.

A buy from $58.5k is amazing if you can get it, however the current level of $60.1k is very strong support.

1st target $85k by November 20th (purple circle)

Good luck!"

Topic:

The Future of Money - does the UK need a Digital Pound?

Description:

The emergence of digital currencies has been driven by a combination of factors: frontier technologies and their use in payments innovation, increasingly global networks and communities, and a growing recognition that transition to a digital economy will require new forms of digital money.

The Digital Pound Foundation has recently been launched as an independent, non-profit organisation to work with a variety of stakeholders and participants towards the implementation of a well-designed Digital Pound. Recognising that both public and private sector have a role to play in the new digital money landscape, the Foundation's remit will also include advocacy for an inclusive, well-regulated, secure and transparent ecosystem that encompasses both CBDC and privately-issued forms of digital money.

In this special launch event, we will formally introduce the Foundation and some of its members, look at why Britain might need a digital pound and examine some of the key benefits and practical examples of how it could be used.

I put a little in crypto this year at the worst possible time, wish I did it back in 2017 when this post was started, back when you could still get BTC around £600 to £1000 and ETH around £200)

Does anyone know which UK business bank accounts allow depositing/withdrawing in crypto-exchanges? I'm with Starling and they don't, neither do Revolut by the looks of it.
