From accounting and finance to data systems and now national advocacy, Susie’s journey reveals how broken incentives, bad narratives, and outdated regulations block Britons from accessing the world’s hardest money. We dig into the FCA’s treatment of Bitcoin vs. “crypto,” why UK retail still can’t access a spot ETF, and how curtailment economics (paying wind farms to switch off!) collide with the promise of Bitcoin mining as a flexible load. This is a no-BS conversation about education, media capture, and building parallel rails—plus Susie’s 13-month fight with the BBC over a widely cited but flawed energy claim, and how targeted lobbying, proof-of-concept mining pilots, and thousands of constituent emails can move the Overton window faster than you think.","meta_description":"In this episode of Hosting Bitcoin, we sit down with Susie Violet Ward — CEO & co-founder of Bitcoin Policy UK, writer, and steadfast advocate for truth,…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3188,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/hosting-bitcoin-7283596/episodes/power-games-hidden-truths-and-bitcoin-with-susie-violet-ward/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hosting-bitcoin-7283596/power-games-hidden-truths-and-bitcoin-with-susie-violet-ward.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
