It's OK, most of my observations aren't directed at you.
While highlighlighting that governments do do under the table deals, I can't see any direct comparison between them and terrorism/drugs/slavery or being a justification for making a few quid.
At least I can vote if I disagree with the government, when is the Bitcoin AGM?

I completely agree with you... At least we get some say.

I'm not much into the business side of things, but I couldn't tell you when they would have an AGM... I couldn't tell you when any company has an AGM.

My company doesn't even have one...

I can't even get them to sit down together to talk about who used the last of the milk!

You could put a few quid a month into a Private Pension fund, firstly you get a 20% gain immediately if you are a basic rate tax payer. Many modern funds will let you choose an investment option and move your funds about online free for a few changes each year. Lastly it is governed by the FSA. That said it is long term. My wife opted into a scheme a few years back when the government were pushing them back in around 1994 ish. She only stayed in the scheme for just under two years due to moving job and getting into a NHS scheme. We pretty much forgot about the old pension pot originally with a firm called Gan. This changed hands over the next 20 years about 4 times eventually being called ReAssure. Now they are by no means a good performer but when the wife was 60 her pension pot was over 10 times what she had paid in for those brief 2 years she got a tax free payment that was 3 times what she paid in and has a remaining pension pot that is now around 8 times what she paid in. She will draw this pot down when she stops working taking an amount that puts her income below the tax threshold for the tax year in question. We have been cautious and left two thirds of the remaining pension pot in deposit and just gambled with a third in Global Tracker & Equity funds. In the last 3 years the deposit fund has scarcely gone up in value due to low interest rates but the money is safe, the remaining third has gone up by almost 35% in three years despite the Brexit situation.
