E35 : BHODL’s CEO Freddie New: Fixing Money, Fixing the Future with Bitcoin

In my conversation with Freddie New, we explored both his personal journey and his work with Bitcoin Policy UK. Freddie began by sharing vivid childhood memories of growing up in Zimbabwe during a period of high inflation, and how those experiences shaped his views on money, frugality, and financial resilience. We then moved into his reflections on student debt, the impact of government policies, and the tension between personal responsibility and systemic disincentives.On a more personal level, Freddie opened up about balancing his Bitcoin advocacy with his personal life, and he gave some insight into his position as CEO of BHODL, a new company about to list on the UK stock market. We wrapped up by discussing what the future of Bitcoin might look like in the UK, and how his work aims to guide that development.This conversation was a long time in coming, but it was well worth the wait!
