Perhaps Bulgarians really don’t want the Euro and be dependent on the ECB.

The largest bank heist in postwar Germany occurred in Gelsenkirchen the other day, where robbers stole up to 30 million Euros from 3,200 safe deposit boxes.

Beautifully written

The number of crypto projects in TradFi is astonishing. Stablecoins, tokenized MMFs, proposed rating frameworks for Digital Assets, etc. Why put in all this work into shitcoin products before realizing that Bitcoin was the way to go all along?

Rumor has it that the German government is already lobbying hard behind the scenes for a German to become the next ECB president after Christine Lagarde’s term ends in 2027. Berlin favors both Joachim Nagel, the current Bundesbank chair, and Isabel Schnabel, current member of the ECB’s executive board, over other candidates such as Klaas Knot (former Dutch central bank governor) and Pablo Hernandez (former Spanish central bank governor). No German has ever been appointed as ECB president and Berlin feels that the time is now right. However, with Ursula von der Leyen (President of the European Commission and de facto ruler) in place, securing another German in the most influential Eurozone job will be difficult.

Every time 😅

AfD parliamentary group is introducing a bill that rejects the digital euro. The group is also demanding that the German government launches a transparent information campaign to educate citizens and ensures that cash remains legal tender accepted by all stationary merchants. Additionally, they want to investigate existing free-market digital money (Bitcoin) as alternatives to the digital euro. https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/21/030/2103038.pdf

Tired of hearing and reading about Black Week, Black Friday or Black Deals. Only deal I’m getting is stacking sats during this dip.

Good afternoon from Germany, which apparently now has a space strategy. Why?

Don’t call it BitCoins please
