Buying Property With the Proceeds of Bitcoin UK 2026 Having just been through the torturous ordeal of buying a house with the proceeds of bitcoin, I thought it might be useful to others to know what is involved. 1. Currently it is possible to buy property with bitcoin directly, but it is very unlikely the vendor would accept it. Bitcoin is not widely liked or understood in Britain and whilst there have been some direct house sales for bitcoin, they are very rare and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is still payable - because paying someone for a house is counted as a disposal. 2. In addition, it is very unlikely a conveyancing solicitor would allow this transaction as most are not equipped to handle digital asset transactions. Which means you’ll have to sell your bitcoin - not necessarily a comfortable or easy thing. The more years you’ve been hodling the harder it is to exchange your pristine digital capital for filthy, lightweight fiat! 3. It also means you’ll incur a hefty CGT bill - handing many thousands over to the very fiat powers oppressing us with their financial and governmental incompetence. Uncomfortable but necessary: as a City trader used to say to me “Just pay your tax. You’ll sleep at night.” This is particularly true given HMRC’s new AI capabilities. Hyped or not, it isn’t worth testing them. 4. Once you have the fiat in your bank account, you then face the daunting process of solicitor's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks. You’ll need proof of the original source of funds you used to buy bitcoin (inheritance, gift, income etc), exchange statements showing the purchases and the sales, bank statements showing the funds in your account, the funds leaving your account, and the proceeds of the bitcoin sale back in your account. They need a full audit trail to satisfy their Proof of Wealth (PoW) and Proof of Funds (PoF) checks. 5. These checks are no joke. They stem from the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017 - lawsociety.org.uk/topics/ant… - which place weighty obligations on law firms handling money. In particular, cash purchases of houses are viewed as ‘high risk of money laundering’ so attract enhanced due diligence measures. Solicitors have gone to prison for not tracing the source of even quite trivial sums. Similarly, criminals are targeting solicitors like never before - both for stealing funds through cyberattacks and for laundering money. The regulations are not without genuine cause. 6. Your choice of solicitors will determine whether you are put through potentially weeks of stress as they scrutinise every part of your financial and bitcoin life. Provincial solicitors are likely to say ‘cryptocurrency is high risk and we don’t do high risk’ and either turn you down flat at the beginning (if you are lucky) or put you through a long, drawn out process that could mean you lose the house you are intending to purchase, and lose your will to live with it. 7. There are some national conveyancing firms that are much happier to process bitcoin related house purchases. Thomas Legal thomaslegal.co.uk/ are one such. In our case, they completed their AML checks in one business day. And they were exceptionally friendly and efficient with it. A stark contrast to our first (local) solicitor who took 8 weeks to say that he wasn’t completely satisfied and 'further checks were going to be required’. 8. It certainly felt like the resistance of the fiat system to bitcoin was exemplified by his suspicious attitude. If you work with a firm like this, you’ll find yourself feeling like a criminal - guilty until proven innocent. Very uncomfortable. As is having your entire financial and bitcoin history exposed. Be prepared to reveal all if you want that dream house. 9. An essential component of clearing the AML check quickly was having a Hoptrail Proof of Wealth Report prepared in advance. hoptrail.io. This specialist auditing company look at the blockchain and exchange statements, rather than fiat accounts, and ensure your coins are not connected to known criminal wallets, mixers or from ‘dubious' sources such as Silk Road. There are stories of bitcoiners with 8 figure portfolios, not a satoshi of which could be used for house purchases because the coins were tainted - from the fiat system point of view at any rate. Most solicitors do not have these skills in-house so having a Hoptrail report is essential. 10. Because of a combination of the Hoptrail report and extended due diligence at solicitors, don’t expect much change from £10,000 for your conveyancing fees. Add in CGT and you’ll need to sell more bitcoin than you might be comfortable doing to cover all the costs. Note that there has been no requirement to have paid CGT before our funds were approved - contrary to some advice out there. 11. Some might ask ‘why put yourself through this?’. Well, in our case, after hodling for 12 years, it felt like it was time to see some real-world benefits. We’re not young and we want to live somewhere decent for our retirement. Feeling wealthy is no substitute for living in a house that better suits your needs. 12. Britain is still very much in the Dark Ages when it comes to bitcoin adoption and understanding. The vast majority of banks, solicitors, out there are simply follow what the @FCA, @FT, @BBC say about #Bitcoin, but at least some are more enlightened and will help, rather than hinder, your purchase. #End

The lows are the signal.

Bitcoin's realized price, the average cost basis of every holder on the network, sits at $54,000. Most holders are still in profit. In every prior bear market, price fell to or below this level. Every single time, it recovered. This cycle? It hasn't touched it once. That's not a guarantee of anything, but historically, it's exactly the kind of floor that long-term cycles are built on.

I'm not sure what people are mad about, Zimbabwe was full of trillionaires and Noone was complaining then...

Cute theory, let's play it out. A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last. But... oh wait, there is no pile. It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded. The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it. Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0. The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession. But it gets worse. Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all. Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees. So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked. So the monkeys sit there. No bananas. No rockets. No coordinates to get more banananas. Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer. OH And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

Folks more mad about a trillionaire than the Federal reserve robbing them since 1913…. Make it make sense.

Commie loons tell us that 1 trillion is an obscene amount of money & yet they’re happy to run up several trillion of debt in our name (& in the name our unborn grandchildren) & pay interest on it ~ remarkable

.@SpaceX is now the 6th most valuable company in the world by market cap, and roughly 6% of its corporate treasury is held in bitcoin. Not ETH. Not some other shitcoin. Bitcoin. That's it. That's the tweet.

Don’t want it. Either stop this creepy spyware or all Apple devices will be banned from the premises of my companies.

The puppet politicians installed as the "leaders" of Western nations are DELIBERATELY flooding their countries with people from violent and incompatible cultures. They KNOW it will undermine social cohesion and cause civil unrest, which they can then use as justification for ever more authoritarian crackdown measures (social media censorship, biometric surveillance, digital ID etc). It's not a "coincidence" that this is happening in virtually every single Western nation simultaneously, with the exact same authoritarian policies being offered up as "solutions" to the engineered chaos. It's not "incompetence"—it's a coldly calculated agenda, straight from the "order out of chaos" playbook. Change my mind.

Digital ID: Here is the WEF's plan for you, straight from their website. Their goal is to create a situation whereby every aspect of daily life—healthcare, banking, food, travel, internet, social media, communications, energy usage, etc—requires a valid digital ID, without which you are locked out. Once that situation is in place, the conditions of validity can be adjusted to anything they want. You didn't take the latest experimental mRNA injection? Then your Digital ID is invalid. You posted something deemed "misinformation" on social media? Then your Digital ID is invalid. Your social credit score fell too low? Your Digital ID wil be invalid. You exceeded your monthly carbon allowance? Your Digital ID will be invalid. You voiced criticism of your new technocratic overlords? Then your Digital ID is invalid. If governments are ever allowed to succeed in rolling out digital ID—even if it's through the back door via under-16 social media bans—we will find ourselves living in a giant open-air digital prison, from which it will be virtually impossible to ever escape. But they can only succeed if humanity complies with their agenda. DO NOT COMPLY.

A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is the most asymmetric bet the U.S. Treasury could make. The downside is manageable. The upside is generational.

If destroying the demon who would rape my daughter makes me a "racist," then that word has been reborn with sacred meaning. It now stands equal to "God," "saint," "justice," and "protector of the innocent." If I am too weak to destroy that demon myself, the savior who rises to do it in my place will become a god in the afterlife. Every blessing will be his. We are still living in the dark medieval age — where governments, politicians, police, and courts actively help those who rape and murder our families. Future historians will look back at the 2020s and record it as: The decade of collective madness. An age of darkness rivaling the witch hunts. What we must do — right now — is for every decent person on this earth to unite with full strength. So that when our children open their history books, they will instead read: "The 2030s: Humanity regained its sanity." "Peace finally returned to human life."

Today, Elon Musk becomes the first trillionaire in human history. And Canada’s newspaper of record marked the occasion by publishing an instruction manual. An actual headline in an actual G7 broadsheet: “Here’s how to properly hate him.” A style guide for envy in case you were hating a trillionaire incorrectly at home. Mises wrote an entire book about these people in 1956. The Anti-Capitalist Mentality. His diagnosis was simple: in a market economy, your bank balance is the verdict of millions of voluntary choices, and some people would rather burn down the courtroom than accept it. So let’s give the resentful hating socialists the wet dream they so want. The full fantasy. Confiscation, the lot. Every share, every rocket, every satellite, seized cleanly with no capital flight and no market crash, which has never happened anywhere in recorded history, but it’s their dream, so we’ll run it. $1 trillion, which is roughly £790 billion. The British state spends £3.75 billion a day. That's every day, while you sleep. £790bn ÷ £3.75bn = 210 days. 30 years of risk, obsession and near bankruptcy. The greatest accumulation of capital by one man in the history of the species, and it only keeps the lights on in Whitehall from January 1st until roughly July 29th, then vanishes into the same furnace that already eats £1.4 trillion a year and still can’t answer the phone at your GP surgery or get an ambulance to your dying grandad in less than 6 hours. And here is what the economically illiterate left will never sit still long enough to learn. That trillion was never a pile of gold he swims in. Its capital: Factories, launch pads, satellite constellations, machine tools, the accumulated structure of production that makes everyone around it richer. Seize it, and you don’t redistribute wealth. You decapitalise a civilisation and split the corpse 210 ways. This is the whole intellectual output of the left in one move: a one-time looting of things they could never build, to feed a machine they refuse to shrink, followed by genuine surprise when the looting has to be repeated on someone poorer. It always reaches you. The Soviets started with the Romanovs and ended up confiscating grain from peasants at gunpoint. Always remember that their appetite doesn’t retire when the rich run out. It just lowers its standards. Meanwhile, the people writing hatred tutorials produce nothing. They consume capital, redistribute resentment, and say it's journalism. A man with his own rockets, satellites, and platform needs nothing from them, and that’s the actual crime… he made their permission worthless. Envy is the only ideology that gets poorer the more successfully it’s implemented. The machine consuming £3.75 billion a day was never going to be satisfied by one man’s fortune; it's practising on him, and it's coming for you!

"They do not want answers, they want total control." I am afraid the truth is far worse than that. They want the complete destruction of Western Civilization. To accomplish that, they aim to crush all voices of dissent. On the grand scale of world politics, Labour's machinations are futile. Decades of mismanagement and neglect have reduced the UK to a shadow of its former greatness. Leaving what remains lacking the economic, military, and cultural might necessary to impose their will on the global stage. Any "act" of this parliament attempting to coerce or control US-based X will simply be laughed off.

After the horrific attempted beheading in Belfast, Labour’s answer is to amend the Online Safety Act and force social media platforms to remove content faster during “times of crisis”. Not fix the border. Not answer the public. Not restore trust. But instead censor the reaction. They do not want answers, they want total control.

Tout le monde pense que le monde libre a gagné en 1989, à la chute du mur de Berlin. C'est faux. Et c'est exactement pour ça que le monde est aujourd'hui en feu. Ce qui est tombé le 9 novembre 1989, c'est un appareil. Une économie planifiée, un empire militaire, un mur de béton. Ce qui n'est pas tombé, c'est l'idée. L'idée que le monde se divise en oppresseurs et en opprimés. L'idée qu'il existe une égalité finale à atteindre, par tous les moyens. L'idée que tout ce qui existe (la famille, la nation, le mérite, l'héritage) est une structure de domination à abattre. Cette idée-là n'était plus dans le bâtiment quand le bâtiment s'est effondré. Il faut reprendre la chronologie, parce que tout est dans la chronologie : Le communisme économique avait un défaut fatal : il était réfutable. Il promettait l'abondance, il produisait des famines. Il promettait l'émancipation, il produisait des barbelés. Budapest 1956, Prague 1968, L'Archipel du Goulag publié à Paris en 1973, les boat people de 1979 : à chaque décennie, le réel envoyait sa réfutation. Les boat people étaient une réfutation flottante, visible depuis les plages. Alors l'idéologie a fait ce que fait tout organisme menacé : elle a muté. La mutation a un nom, et j'en ai raconté la généalogie ici : la French Theory. Foucault a déplacé la guerre du terrain des faits, où le communisme perdait à chaque fois, vers le terrain du savoir lui-même. S'il n'y a pas de vérité, s'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir, alors plus aucune famine, plus aucun mur, plus aucun goulag ne peut réfuter quoi que ce soit. La French Theory n'a pas enterré le marxisme. Elle l'a rendu irréfutable. Et la mutation a des dates. Toutes antérieures à 1989. 1934 : l'École de Francfort, chassée d'Allemagne, s'installe à Columbia. La critique de l'économie devient critique de la culture. 1964-1965 : Marcuse, exilé allemand devenu professeur américain, remplace le prolétariat défaillant par un nouveau sujet révolutionnaire (les minorités, les étudiants, les marginaux) et écrit noir sur blanc que la tolérance doit être accordée aux mouvements de gauche et refusée à ceux de droite. Octobre 1966 : le débarquement a une date précise. Université Johns Hopkins, Baltimore. Derrida, Barthes, Lacan présentent la pensée française aux campus américains. 1967 : Rudi Dutschke lance le mot d'ordre, la longue marche à travers les institutions. 1968 : les révolutions de rue échouent partout. Qu'importe. La révolution ne passera plus par la rue, elle passera par la salle de classe. 1975-1985 : Yale, Berkeley, Columbia absorbent la théorie, qui devient le système d'exploitation des humanités. 1987 : Allan Bloom publie The Closing of the American Mind pour donner l'alerte. Un million d'exemplaires vendus. L'université le traite de réactionnaire et passe à autre chose. L'Amérique avait son Aron, elle en a fait la même chose que nous du nôtre. Puis arrive le 9 novembre 1989. Le Mur tombe. L'Occident célèbre. Fukuyama avait déclaré la fin de l'Histoire dès l'été, avant même la chute. On démantèle les missiles, on encaisse les dividendes de la paix, on déclare le match terminé. Nous avons célébré notre victoire sur une adresse vide. L'idéologie avait déménagé vingt ans plus tôt. Nous avons gagné contre les chars et perdu contre les chaires. Pendant ce temps, l'autre empire communiste faisait la lecture inverse. Pékin avait écrasé Tian'anmen dans le sang cinq mois avant Berlin. Sinistre, mais lucide sur un point : la Chine savait que la guerre était idéologique. Elle a choisi : abandonner l'économie marxiste, garder le contrôle du récit. L'Occident a fait l'exact opposé : il a gardé le marché et absorbé l'idéologie. Trente-cinq ans plus tard, regardez qui construit des centrales et qui déboulonne ses statues. Vous voulez la preuve que c'est le même logiciel ? Faites la table de correspondance. La lutte des classes est devenue la lutte des identités. Les koulaks sont devenus les privilégiés. L'autocritique maoïste est devenue le privilege checking. Les commissaires politiques sont devenus les DEI officers. Le samizdat est devenu le compte shadowbanné. La nomenklatura a quitté Moscou pour Davos et Bruxelles. Et le paradis ne s'appelle plus la société sans classes : il s'appelle l'équité, l'égalité des résultats. Exactement ce que je décrivais ici il y a quelques semaines. On me dira : il n'y a pas de Goulag. C'est vrai. C'est même tout le génie de la version 2.0. Le communisme dur devait briser les corps parce qu'il ne tenait pas les esprits. Le communisme mou tient les esprits : il lui suffit de briser les carrières. Pas de camps, des services RH. Pas de procès de Moscou, des excuses publiques. Pas de Sibérie, la mort sociale. Demandez aux émigrés du bloc de l'Est installés en Occident ce qu'ils ressentent en traversant une université américaine en 2026. Ils reconnaissent l'odeur. Et voilà pourquoi le monde est en feu. Une civilisation a passé trente-cinq ans à enseigner à ses propres enfants qu'elle était le problème. Résultat : elle ne sait plus défendre ses frontières, transmettre son héritage, ni même nommer ses ennemis. Quand la présidente de Harvard, devant le Congrès, répond que condamner un appel au génocide « dépend du contexte », vous voyez le logiciel tourner en production. Et les prédateurs du dehors lisent cette faiblesse comme un livre ouvert : Moscou teste, Pékin patiente, l'islamisme avance dans les rues de nos capitales. Le feu extérieur n'est que la conséquence du désarmement intérieur. On ne brûle bien que les maisons qui se sont vidées de leurs défenseurs. Le Mur n'est pas tombé. Il s'est déplacé. Il ne sépare plus l'Est de l'Ouest : il passe désormais à l'intérieur de chaque institution occidentale, entre ceux qui construisent et ceux qui déconstruisent. La première guerre froide s'est gagnée avec des missiles et du PIB. La seconde se gagnera avec des écoles, des médias libres et des modèles d'IA. Celui qui écrit les valeurs dans les machines écrira le prochain 1989. Cette fois, ne nous trompons pas de victoire. Au travail.

The people of the uk have been gelded by their goverment. 2 generations of their best and bravest were slaughtered in brother wars, and a large chunk of what remained spread throughout the commonwealth in search of adventure. Combine that with the systemic propaganda effort over the last 80 years to destroy their identity and large portions of the population are functionally incapable of understanding how to make things better. The younger generations can see, mostly due to the transparency that’s been aloud on the internet through sites like this and 4chan. But even then while the movement of people who want to fix their home is large it’s not large enough to do what needs to be done right now. Another key difference between the goverment of Japan and the uk is that the government of Japan is made up of Japanese people, who at least somewhat like Japan, the goverment of the uk has large portions that are nonwhite and hate the uk for the perceived crimes against their native people If anyone pops their head up they get sent to prison and the state turns all of its resources on them
