🧠 Quote Of The Week

“Customers don’t care about your technology. They care about what it does for them.”

— Clayton Christensen

Kraken has increased rewards on its Krak debit card to up to 2% cashback, with rewards paid in Bitcoin. Amazingly, this is available in the UK.

It turns everyday spending, and even salaries, into a simple way for normal people to build a Bitcoin stack, acting as an entry point to learn more about it.

Moving away from typical reward points to Bitcoin cashback is far more appealing, as the rewards can be spent or withdrawn without complicated catches.

UK residents are being blocked from educational pages on Ledger and Trezor, including guides on UTXOs, multisig, public and private keys, and even hardware wallet security.

The restrictions appear to stem from the FCA’s crypto financial promotions regime, with rules now going far beyond buying or trading pages.

While the same content remains accessible elsewhere, this leaves UK users less informed about technology they already own and how to store it. Blocking education does not protect users, it leaves them less equipped to use Bitcoin safely.

Fresh concern has followed a new Google Quantum AI paper, which argues that future quantum computers may be able to break the cryptography used by Bitcoin with fewer resources than previously thought.

Despite the urgency of the paper, Bitcoin already has a path to adapt long before quantum becomes a real-world problem.

This would not need to happen overnight. If quantum machines ever become powerful enough to matter, Bitcoin can be upgraded with new forms of security that protect wallets from that threat.

The Human Rights Foundation has funded 26 new Bitcoin projects through its Bitcoin Development Fund, supporting work focused on privacy, censorship resistance, and open-source tools.

The grants target developers building in areas where Bitcoin matters most, especially in regions facing financial repression or limited access to banking.

It’s another reminder that Bitcoin development is not just about price or speculation, but about building tools that support freedom and resilience globally.

Interactive Brokers has expanded its offering in the European Economic Area to include Bitcoin trading.

Rather than needing to sign up to a crypto exchange, users can now gain Bitcoin exposure alongside stocks, options and other assets in one place.

It’s another step in Bitcoin’s integration into mainstream finance, giving traditional investors easier access through a platform they already use.

English Lakes Hotels has integrated Bitcoin by accepting payments, but for Managing Director Ben Berry, that's just the beginning.

Ben is building on the family business's legacy by creating a circular economy of Bitcoin-native suppliers, spreading the impact far beyond his own business.

We've pulled together something special for our upcoming BBN quarterly event. Former ministers, energy innovators, and Bitcoin veterans in the same room, at London's Bitcoin accelerator Antidote.
