The UK social media ban is here — and it’s a warning sign for the rest of us. In this week’s Bitcoin Banter, Tony and Katie join Michael to break down Keir Starmer’s Labour government plan to ban social media for under-16s, and the unintended (or intended?) consequences for online privacy, free speech, and digital freedom in Orwell’s 1984 Britain.
The team also unpacks the rise of the world’s first trillionaire, Elon Musk; the dangerous concentration of the S&P 500 in a handful of AI stocks; the Trump family’s crypto windfall while everyday investors lose out; and of course our Donkey of the Week, who’s begging Trump for a presidential pardon.
From Big Brother Britain to taking self-custody of your Bitcoin, this episode is about protecting your money, your privacy, and your freedom.
