@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Bitcoin is, essentially, a pyramid scheme. It exists to facilitate tax evasion and criminal money laundering. How is this public service?

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc What a ridiculous statement. You’re completely ignorant on the subject.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Inform me please...tell me how it isn't? I'm willing to be corrected

@stackbtc_ @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Correct your racism then

Do criminals use Bitcoin? 100% - just as they use phones, cars, and banknotes, but recent Chainalysis/TRM data show illicit activity is under 1% of crypto volume and has been shifting away from Bitcoin toward other assets like stablecoins. Painting millions of lawful users, builders and investors as criminals because a tiny minority abuse the rails isn’t “public service”. I can think of a good few broadcaster who are criminals, that doesn’t make @narindertweets one does it?

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Just out and out corruption, paraded in front of the public's face, with yet another disgraced, failed Tory.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc At least all those suckers in Reform know what Nigel Farage does with their membership subscriptions now Looks like a solid investment though Nothing involving Kwasi Kwarteng could ever go wrong Oh, hang on...

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Such a man of the people.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc That Nigel Farage who can’t be bought , yeah ?

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Looks like Farage has gone full Kwarteng, nobody goes full Kwarteng, except Liz Truss...

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc 1. Farage promises crypto scammers the UK will be nicer to them under Reform. 2. Convicted criminal whose crypto site was used for money laundering moves to the UK to donate to Reform. 3. Farage then directly promotes a crypto site with THIS post. What next? Dietary pills?

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Stinks to high heaven. Hope Farage loses his investment. Given Kwarteng’s track record as chancellor that’s a pretty good possibility. Dodgy as anything.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc So there we are: not a man of the people, an establishment figure, not represents his constituents in Clacton, grifting with bitcoin. I thought Farage wasn't good at finance? And where did the money for investing come from? Russia? Iran? USA? Not owning a house in Clacton?

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc The carbon copy Trump manoeuvre. Whatever Trump does to benefit personally, Farage will follow suit. Only in it for personal gain, everything else is a charade.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Who loaned Farage the money? Another con, don’t fall for it. People have lost millions in the Trump crypto grift

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Is Tice but Dim buying any crypto with the money he saved from dodging tax?

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Nice to finally see a politician backing blockchain @Nigel_Farage. Long overdue in the UK. @stackbtc_ @kwasi_stackbtc wish you all the best with the venture. I’m sure @reformparty_uk will be leading on this in a future government. #reformuk

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc @reformparty_uk Thank you, Alexander. The UK is being left behind, and we hope Nigel and Reform change this.

@alexinsley @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc @reformparty_uk What do you say to the accusation that politicians enriching themselves by investing in industries they seek to regulate is a clear manifestation of corruption and corporate capture of democracy?

@stackbtc_ @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc @reformparty_uk Declared interests exist for exactly this reason. Should every politician with a pension fund recuse themselves from financial regulation? Or MPs with mortgages from housing debates? The standard you’re applying only ever seems to point one direction Peter.

@stackbtc_ @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc @reformparty_uk What daft analogies. Of course having a geared investment and voting shares in a company differs from having a bank account or pension fund. Every legislator be recused decisions affect their share portfolio. Otherwise we’ll have Trump levels of corruption here

@stackbtc_ @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc @reformparty_uk The declared interest rules exist precisely to handle this, Peter. Farage followed them to the letter. That’s the system working. If you have an issue, it’s with Parliament’s disclosure framework, not Nigel. Or is the real problem just that you don’t like the investment itself?

@stackbtc_ @Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc @reformparty_uk The electoral commission regulations and parliamentary disclosure have clearly not caught up with fintech innovations, hence strong pressure for reform (not the party!). Thanks for providing more evidence here of the urgency of the issue. Democracy mustn't be captured by finance

So you’ve moved from “wrongdoing” to “the rules need updating.” That’s quite a journey for one thread. If you think the framework is flawed, argue for reform, but that’s not what you led with. You implied a scandal where there was actually full compliance. The internet just rewards outrage over accuracy.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Nigel purchased $BITCOIN harry potter digital token ONLINE, not an analogue coin. #HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu 🟦🟨🟥🔟

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Corruption. Pure. Simple. Blatant.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Once again showing that dark money can buy Farage.

THIS. Congrats all. Here's to the next phase of growth in the UK. LFG 🚀🚀🚀

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc He’s gonna start wearing nappies and take up golf next isn’t he? Pathetic, obsequious little wannabe 🤮

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Great work. We will turn the tide on 🇬🇧 and Bitcoin. So many different businesses starting to integrate with Bitcoin in 🇬🇧 and also a real chance to make it part of the very relevant energy discussion which is dominating the news these days for obvious reasons.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc The con is still on

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc I know he likes emulating Trump but, FFS, this is an obvious conflict of interest and corruption in plain sight. Another reason Farage should be nowhere near power.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Bitcoin entered in British politics now the first Uk political party leader publicly bought Bitcoin will it be favorable to crypto market?

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Kwasi with another odd take on the numbers. Number 1 on Aquis?! By what count… most “1 share” transactions 🤔? Have a feeling Vault Ventures probably merit the no 1 claim on March. Congrats on BTC purchase, shameless politics stunt with #Farage aside 🤢

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc The love of money is the root of all evil. @Nigel_Farage , eager for money, has wandered from the faith & will pierce himself with many griefs. But he that will be rich falls into temptation & a snare & into many foolish & hurtful lusts, drowning him in destruction & perdition

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Oh.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Man of the people. Said nobody ever..

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Let him follow Trump all over again.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Keep going and get my vote this term.

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Kwasi Kwarteng, who with Liz Truss unleashed the 2022 mini‑budget that triggered a UK financial crisis, spiked borrowing costs, and forced the Bank of England into emergency action, is now a self‑styled Bitcoin visionary while soft‑pedalling his own role in the chaos. Crazy

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc You know this just makes your organisation look like a corrupt cess-pit for morons?

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc wow! yah amazing to see this top collaboration between #Farage and #KwasiKwarteng bruh if that ain't a way to collapse yer fackin party, who knows what is

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Lucky Nigel. Now how many ‘ordinary people’ have £2m to play with?

As I have said previously, there needs to be far more talk about Bitcoin in the media in the UK and I am hoping 2 such prominent figures such as @Nigel_Farage and @kwasi_stackbtc that maybe Bitcoin can be more openly discussed in the media. We are many years behind the US in this and we need to catch up quickly

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Great to see Nigel is sticking to his word and not trusting a Tory - not just any Tory but the fekin lunatic who helped Truss crash the economy 🙄🤦♂️

@Nigel_Farage @blockchain @kwasi_stackbtc Yeah, but they all had a nice blue passport Nige 🤣🤣
