This is a straight-talking, UK-focused episode with Robin Thatcher, also known as The Bitcoin and Crypto Accountant. With over 20+ years in finance and accounting, including time at FTSE companies, Robin shares why he left the 9–5 to start his own firm and how that journey led him to Bitcoin.
We unpack how the UK tax system treats Bitcoin, the regulatory hurdles businesses face, and what most people misunderstand about tax, self-custody, counterparty risk, and inheritance planning.

This is a refreshing and relatable conversation with Alan Smith, founder and CEO of Capital Partners, a London-based independent wealth management firm managing over £500 million for around 300 affluent families.
Though relatively new to diving into Bitcoin, Alan brings a thoughtful and open-minded perspective shaped by decades of experience advising clients who are trying to make sense of where to put their wealth.
We explore the growing generational wealth divide, inflation, broken financial incentives, and how a more digital, mobile economy is forcing countries to rethink how they attract and retain citizens.
