Former British MEP Makes First Bitcoin Purchase

[MRM]

Bitcoin’s latest high-profile convert is a 70-year-old former British MEP who called for the arrest of central bankers in 2013. Former British politician Godfrey Bloom made his first Bitcoin purchase this week, according to a tweet Thursday. The move comes years after Bloom famously called the global banking industry “a scam.”

Bloom, who served as a Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber from 2004 to 2014, said on Twitter, “I make my first purchases of Bitcoin this week. Gold & silver have I plenty.”
