Former MEP makes first foray into bitcoin

The British politician Godfrey Bloom added bitcoins to his investment portfolio. This is his first-ever purchase of cryptocurrency.

Godfrey Bloom served as a member of the European Parliament from 2004 to 2014. During that time he was known for sharp remarks aimed at the traditional financial system as well as at his colleagues.

In 2010 Bloom was ejected from a meeting for insulting a German colleague. He shouted Nazi slogans in German. In 2013 the British politician stated that the banking structure is built on fraud.

Earlier, the Nasdaq-listed MicroStrategy invested in the first cryptocurrency. The total investment in BTC amounted to $425 million.
