Episode notes

Ben Cousens is the co-founder of Antidote, London's first Bitcoin-only co-working space and startup incubator. Built for founders who want to build serious businesses on Bitcoin, Antidote is on a mission to make the UK a meaningful player in the global Bitcoin ecosystem.

We spoke to Ben about why he went Bitcoin-only, what's really blocking UK founders from raising capital, and why he thinks the lightbulb moment for Bitcoin adoption is closer than most people think.
