Promote with Leviathan NewsOn Peter McCormack's Bitcoin podcast, former UK PM Liz Truss said she backs Bitcoin because it "takes power away from central banks," and warned CBDCs are "part of the surveillance state" that give governments "overweening" power. She ripped the Bank of England as "unaccountable," blamed its prolonged QE for "huge levels of inflation" and asset price spikes, and defended her 2022 mini-budget. She's also launching CPAC Great Britain in London this July, tying monetary reform to a broader conservative push.
