Very interesting! Also I love your Real Eyes slogan  What does the Chancellor of the Exchequer doo? Chancellor of Exchange is what that stands for? Either way, it is very helpful when people who are in the spotlight or government do these types of things. Bitcoin could stand to gain more of this type of thing and hopefully we get more government and their staffers to use Bitcoin and give us good publicity. |

What does the Chancellor of the Exchequer doo?
he's the guy in control of the countries budgets. he is the one that says that social security gets X amount this year, military gets Y amounts this year and healthcare gets Z.... oh and the guy that ensures he receives A, B and C amounts. in short he is the accountant/book keeper of the government funding (tax) |

This is an encouraging statement from the UK government. Bitcoin may be regulated in the uk soon, but is not illegal. I am surprised to see the C of E showing high profile support for bitcoin.

Fuck it, I'm moving out of the country for good now, I know you guys outside of the UK won't know much about George Osborne but this guy knows even less about the economy than Paul Krugman, the fact that he's wanting to put VAT on Bitcoins means he's going to tax UK Bitcoin users hard, in fact, I think the UK a probably going to see Bitcoin as a way of getting more tax income in general.
Banks are extremely well established here and have a strangehold on everything financial, so they're going to do everything they can to control Bitcoin and make it unappealing for people to use.

Although I'm not from UK but just two posts above I posted exactly why the bitcoin community gonna hate him eventually, its no rocket science to understand that why a politician will do no good with/to btc . |

in the UK the HMRC is still in the official stance that although an asset officially. it should unofficially be treated as an asset currency. much like how someone exchanging pounds for euro's wouldnt have 20% less euro value.
we will soon see

Good to see people in positions that high getting some hands-on experience with Bitcoin. They are supposed to decide so many things and often don't even know what those things are. I believe politicians could use that kind of experience in order to get to know Bitcoin better!

I think a congressman did the same thing when a Bitcoin ATM was installed in capital hill. It made the news and everything. I do wonder just how much use it get though. I defiantly think this is very good for bitcoin as it will likely cause it to be seen less of a threat to governments. |
