bollocks it is. South Korea, Moscow, Berlin, and Silicon valley are by far the leaders in the field of DLT.The UK is an emerging leader in the development of DLT.
Tulip coins eh ATW? The government is about to store you credit record & property ownership rights on DLT!Trade finance was frequently identified in the Taskforce’s stakeholder engagement as a use case that demonstrates how DLT could speed up settlement times and increase efficiency through automation. For example, smart contracts could replace letters of credit and create a record of ownership at each step.
In other words, free rain.Taxation5.31 Tax was outside the Taskforce’s remit, so substantive considerations of tax issues are not included in this report. However, HM Treasury is working closely with HM Revenue and Customs to consider the tax issues raised by cryptoassets.
Sounds like the government is not liking the idea of potential disruption to the finance sector. Tough."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Ask around friends & family, you'll be surprised. Yes many more may know about the name Bitcoin but that's not the same as owning. Guess at which point on the graph below they'll decide to do something about it...
