After three years of building together, Freddie is now focusing fully on his work at B HODL.
He first reached out to me after reading an article I wrote about Bitcoin mining and the environment and invited me to help establish Bitcoin Policy UK.
What followed were 3 years of building, consultations, open letters, conferences, APPGs, late nights, weekends, stress, belief, friendship and an incredible team of volunteers who helped create something important.
His focus on building Lightning Network infrastructure at B HODL is an important part of Bitcoin’s future.
I want to thank Freddie personally for everything, especially for his dedication through the highs and lows of building BPUK from scratch.
The next stage will look different, but the mission continues and the work we have already delivered remains available for anyone who wants to build on it.
The ideas behind Bitcoin are bigger than any one organisation or chapter.
