Party leader says he wants UK to be a ‘crypto powerhouse’ during speech at Las Vegas conference

Britcoin is a pretty good name, tbf
Why did the Guardian even bother to write this article? It isn’t really newsworthy imo.
The largest 3rd party in the country (according to polls) is talking about accepting donations that can’t be traced by regulators like the Elections Commission. They’ve already been associated with a lot of US dark money who would love something like this to get around donation limits. This is definitely newsworthy.
On Thursday the Reform website was updated to accept cryptocurrency donations. There was a disclaimer stating that all donations were subject to Electoral Commission rules and that anonymous donations were not permissible.
They don’t accept anonymous donations. So that doesn’t appear to be a concern at least.

Can’t wait to see it all get stolen.
How about gold, silver, or wp:Ethereum?
On 15 September 2022, Ethereum transitioned its consensus mechanism from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) in an update known as “The Merge”, which cut the blockchain’s energy usage by 99%.[10]
