You are repeating the same claim which comes down to you don't know.
- notahacker 10y agoI am repeating that I DO know that your claim that EU regulation does nothing to help the UK fintech sector is flatly and indisputably wrong, because its ability to serve EU markets from a London office is heavily dependent on financial passporting (and aided by other regulatory harmonisation) and whilst nobody knows for certain what will be negotiated or if Brexit will even happen, I DO know that all the available indicators point against your equally baseless assertion that the resulting settlement will "probably" be better for them than the status quo. Repeating that nobody knows exactly what solution will be negotiated and that it might be quite similar to remaining in the EU doesn't make you any less wrong on the subject of the benefits of EU passporting to UK startups.

- notahacker 10y agoI'm glad you've now come around to the idea Brexit represents a problem to be solved rather than a boon to fintech... If you think their negotiation objectives are going to be achieved "easily" despite the EU have a strong vested interest in not extending trade agreements to support London's financial service industry, and UK politicians having a strong political need to avoid a Swiss/Norwegian-type arrangement with unlimited immigration, I've got a bridge to sell you.
