ZH comment sections are always a dumpster fire, but they go full nuclear meltdown whenever Bitcoin is mentioned. That site is infested with salty gold bugs.

As a UK citizen I can't say this interests me too much. I have some wealth locked up in pension schemes that I cannot access for a few decades, which I currently allocate to Bitcoin adjacent stocks (MSTR, miners). I guess I would prefer something like a spot ETF? Perhaps this is a stepping stone towards that.

Really though, if the UK wants to be seem as a Bitcoin-friendly hub, then it first needs to allow bitcoin.org to distribute Bitcoin Core to citizens and stop enabling CSW's nonsense. It also needs to lift the ban on Bitcoin ATMs.

LCH only seem to mention bitcoin in the press release
