TechFlow News, April 18: According to a CoinDesk report, Liz Truss—the UK’s shortest-serving former Prime Minister—said in an interview that the UK economy is on a “very negative trajectory,” with high taxation, excessive regulation, and energy costs rendering entrepreneurship “risky without commensurate reward.” She attributed inflation and wealth inequality to “currency depreciation” and noted that discussions about monetary policy within the government have become “taboo”—a phenomenon she described as “deeply unsettling.”
Truss stated she is “very interested” in Bitcoin, viewing it as a critical tool to counter currency depreciation and resist centralized financial control. She revealed she first encountered Bitcoin during her tenure as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. She is now actively establishing CPAC UK and plans to host a three-day conference uniting entrepreneurs and activists to advance a “sovereignty and freedom” movement, declaring outright: “There are only two options—either sink into decline or enact radical change.”
