If you wondered how exactly US is going to “cultivate resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations” (US National Security Strategy 2025), here’s a practical example:
Reform UK broke records after it emerged this week that it had received a single £9 million ($12 million) donation from a cryptocurrency investor.
The “investor” here is Christopher Harborne, an actual early investor in Bitcoin, who is also shareholder in Tether and Bitfinex. He previously donated to #Brexit party. The point here is that you can’t never sure about the true origin of these donations, because the whole point of these particular cryptocurrencies is to obscure the actual cash flows and make any auditing impossible.
