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.

They don’t accept anonymous donations. So that doesn’t appear to be a concern at least.

It’ll be interesting to see how they enforce that. The Electoral Commission will have quite a time tracing all the Bitcoin transactions that go to that address.
