So now, Italy (with a right wing prime minister who Brussels said would be a disaster) is doing better than labour Britain.

For whatever it is worth, anecdotally, Italy far surpassed the UK in terms of Bitcoin merchant adoption as well, with good number of pizza and gelato sellers dotted across the country happily taking my Sats.

I suspect the traditional financial industry's regulatory capture in the UK is to blame for it, and labour does everything to choke the life out of any notion of sovereign money.
