Thanks for the update ! I keep thinking about ways we can grow UK users. Interesting content is definitely a part of it, but I actually think that steering the conversation away from crypto and towards the social side and apps is the way to go.
Most of the people I've spoken with are incredibly wary of anything linked to crypto, not helped by the very anti-crypto stance of organisations like HMRC, the FCA, Bank of England etc.
I've been quite inspired by the adoption of Distriator in places like Nigeria and Venezuela, but I think doing that in the UK would be tough to et rolling. It might need all the shops in something like a tourist retail centre (somewhere like the Elsacar Heritage Centre) to come on board all at once. Or maybe run some kind of hobby-type event or small cosplay convention where HBD was set up as the favoured payment method (perhaps with Distriator-style cashbacks).
