@maxkarpis Usually it's dodgy crypto trading, or not living where you say you are (according to Reddit)

Some people are screaming that "everyone" with a Revolut account is getting their money frozen and that it's "the worst bank in the world" Let's get real: Revolut has 75M customers. Even if 10, 100 or even 10,000 accounts get restricted, that's still a tiny percentage - nowhere near "everyone". If your account gets flagged, you usually have time to verify and resolve it. Comply with the requests, and most people are fine. A lot of restrictions happen because people (sometimes "unknowingly") break the terms of service or transact with risky or flagged accounts. Revolut sees the pattern and acts. This isn't unique to Revolut. Every bank and fintech has to follow the same anti-money laundering rules. They all restrict accounts when something looks off. Revolut isn't perfect, but the "everyone is getting blocked" narrative is pure exaggeration.

@ChadWestTweets So true

According to Keir Starmer, a teenager doesn’t have the judgement to scroll through Instagram without state supervision, but does have the judgement to pick the next government. We are governed by idiots, says Clive Pinder. dailysceptic.org/2026/06/17/too…

@XrpUdate @Xaif_Crypto In layman's terms

While the crowd is loading up on shorts, whales are quietly withdrawing $XRP from exchanges. 🔹 89M $XRP removed from Binance 🔹 Funding rates at multi-month lows Supply is shrinking. Short interest is growing. That’s a dangerous combination. 💥📈

@ChadWestTweets For the layman please explain

The SpaceX IPO will go down as the biggest dump on retail investors in history. It is nothing short of an exit strategy for early investors, and your dumb ass is falling for it.

@ChadWestTweets A bunch of fruit loops

If a company can’t prove it has exhausted the domestic labour market, it should be taxed £5K for hiring from abroad, not handed a £5K subsidy.

@TheGriftReport How about getting the lazy entitled UK personnel back into work first

Andy Burnham suggests asylum seekers, including small boat migrants, should be allowed to work in Britain while their claims are being processed. The Greater Manchester Mayor described the current ban as “absurd” and said people should not be left sitting around unable to work for months or even years. He told the BBC: “We should let people work. It is absurd that we have people sitting around not able to work while their claims are being processed. Of course they should be able to work.” Burnham argued the change would reduce pressure on the benefits system and help fill widespread labour shortages across the UK. The current Home Office rule prevents most asylum seekers from working until they have waited at least 12 months for a decision on their claim. Small boat arrivals are particularly affected because many of their claims take far longer to process. What do you think? is he barking mad?

JUST IN: Revolut plans to launch five different credit card products in the UK. Revolut UK CEO Francesca Carlesi confirmed the plans while speaking at the Money20/20 conference in Amsterdam. “Credit cards is something that we are passionate about,” she said, adding that the products “are going to go live soon.” Carlesi also noted: “The legacy banks have historically been under-serving a lot of very important customers and products.” The move is part of Revolut’s bigger push into lending and revenue diversification following its full UK banking licence.

@wesstreeting @CliveBn8twsptcr What a good idea. Tax business owners and investors out of existence (i.e. remove the incentives for wealth creation) and there'll be no jobs. No NHS, because there won't be any money to fund it. Governments don't create wealth - but they can stifle the economy.

@RobertJenrick Surely preservation of life is priority

Since the murder of Henry Nowak there has been stony silence from the Government. Not a peep from the Home Secretary. Not a word from the Prime Minister who is normally quick to respond to deaths involving the police, both in the UK and abroad. Remember the spectacle of him ‘taking the knee’ over George Floyd’s death? He won’t even say Henry Nowak’s name. Henry’s death constituted a national scandal. An 18 year old, robbed of his future on a night out in Southampton after being brutally stabbed 6 times with a 21cm long ceremonial sword. Instead of helping him, the police initially arrested him as he bled to death after he was accused by his attacker of racial harassment. Henry was treated not as the victim, but as the criminal. His murder could not have been more monstrous; the police response more shameful.  So why has this appalling injustice been met with a collective shrug by politicians in Westminster? With the exception of a couple of us including Henry’s local MP, Jen Craft, it has not been raised in the House of Commons. I asked the Home Secretary to launch an investigation into the police’s conduct and a debate on two-tier policing - needless to say I was rebuffed.  The silence can be explained by the fact that most politicians are more interested in showing their supposed virtue by favouring minority communities at the expense of the majority. So they look away at injustices perpetrated by minorities, lest it colour the multicultural illusion they have that the country is a harmonious melting pot. And they ignore prejudiced laws and the conventions of so-called ‘anti-racism’ which lead to discrimination against the majority.  The trial of Henry’s killer, Vickrum Digwa, may be over, but the questions are only just beginning. Why did the police arrest Henry based on one allegation he had made a racial slur - something the prosecution described as a “wicked lie”? Why was Henry’s handcuffing and arrest considered a priority for the police when he was in a critical condition? Why do perceived racial sensitivities consistently appear to shape how the police enforce the law these days?  The police have now apologised. But ‘sorry’ doesn’t cut it. Not remotely. Heads must roll for such a catastrophic failure. The bodycam footage must be released. And the police’s “anti-racist” training programmes need overhaul. We can’t go back in time and undo what has been done. Henry’s family and friends will live with this forever. But his tragic death should be a turning point. A clarion call for the authorities to act in a colour-blind way - treating people under the principle of equality before the law.

@ChadWestTweets 🤣

You’d need to sniff a very strong brand of glue to fall for this propaganda We lost 246K highly skilled Brits in 2025, and gained 627K, mostly low skilled, non-EU immigrants that same year. It may be a win for Deliveroo and Uber, but it’s a loss for the tax payer.

@maxkarpis Can you select which crypto you want it to come from similar to the virtual crypto card?

Yours for 24.99 GBP.

@alanchanguk That's because politicians and the blob aren't engineers, and Ed fruit loop miliband doesn't like tried and tested energy sauces

Britain wants AI, electrification and industrial growth without building enough energy infrastructure to support any of them. That contradiction is becoming costly for the British economy. I wrote about it for City AM 👇 cityam.com/the-city-is-pa…

@bgarlinghouse What price in UK sterling do you see XRP being in 2030?

The Senate Banking Committee is putting in the work as it moves the Clarity Act forward… incredible leadership! Millions of Americans are already in this market. Ripple stands behind this bill because they deserve the same rules and protections as every other asset class. If the largest economy in the world is going to lead on crypto - and it must - this is the moment. Let's get it done!

@ChadWestTweets What a fruit loop

SEN. BLUMENTHAL: Ukraine not only not been "militarily defeated", but in fact, Ukraine arguably is winning. There is false narrative that Russia is winning. Putin wants that false narrative to be American official narrative. American people should know that President of United States is undermining our security. Ukraine is holding the line against Putin, who will keep going against Moldova, against our NATO allies. We still have obligation under Article 5 to come to their defense, just as they did after 9/11, as King Charles so eloquently reminded us. And my view is, and this observation is hardly novel, that China is watching what we're doing in Ukraine.

What a letter

@maxkarpis That's where the majority of my savings are. Thankfully I'm UK based.

Revolut is shutting down its precious metals trading service for customers in most of the EU, forcing liquidations of all remaining positions after 15 June. Revolut is shutting down exposure to gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in nearly every major European market. Users can sell until the deadline, after which Revolut will automatically close positions at market rates and refund commissions. The service lives on in the UK for now. No detailed explanation has been given. The official line simply cites their right to terminate with two months’ notice - exactly what they’ve done. Why now? This looks like a commercial decision rather than regulatory pressure. Revolut evaluates each of its services on its own PnL basis, and anything unprofitable gets axed quickly. Looks like high spreads met low volumes, making the feature a nice-to-have that no longer justified the overhead. The key implication is that products could be seen as temporary. Convenient exposure can vanish when the economics shift. Maybe it's a smart pruning by Revolut, but a sharp reminder that relying on side features carries real exit risk. What’s your take?
