Germany's SHOCKING $3 Billion Mistake—Is it Too Late to Buy Bitcoin?

I explore Germany’s controversial decision to sell its 50,000 Bitcoin holdings for €2.6 billion in summer 2024.

The sale, viewed by many as a significant mistake, is juxtaposed against a burgeoning Bitcoin community and growing political interest in the cryptocurrency within Germany.

The video features interviews with German politicians, Bitcoin advocates, and citizens, highlighting varying perspectives on Bitcoin’s potential and the government’s actions. The narrative explores the reasons behind the sale, the ongoing efforts to educate German parliamentarians on Bitcoin, and the potential for future Bitcoin adoption by the German government.

Thank you so much to Joana and her team for hosting me. And to Samson for his time.
