German MP Joana Cotar holds BTC and says the government should stop selling
German MP Joana Cotar criticized her government for failing to keep bitcoin before revealing she holds the crypto as part of her portfolio.
Not mentioning that she's a nazi makes this story totally worthless.
it's a crypto mag, they know what their fellows believe
As a german, kind of a relief that the mouthpiece of Bitcoin in parliament is some used-to-be-AfD nobody. (AfD = far right, pretty politically isolated). This shit could have come from the FDP (pro-business liberals) just as well, and they control the ministry of finance!
I expect some crypto sympathizers in the FDP, but if weirdos like this are the loudest advocates they will probably want to avoid the association.
I have a superficial understanding of German politics, but I am surprised that FDP includes crypto-roaches.
It's a thing unfortunately. Here's an event by the minister of justice this month: https://crm.fdpbt.de/termin/4-blockchain-roundtable-code-law-wie-sich-unser-recht-smart-contracts-und-legal-tech
I thought they got rid of Deutsche marks.
She was part of the AfD, a party that was founded to abolish the Euro and reintroduce the DM. The party was taken over by the far right the moment it got any attention.
This is actually pretty funny. :D
Hey!!!! How dare you sell your BTC before I could. I only joined this government to commit insider trading!!!
