⚡️🇪🇺 ICYMI - European Central Bank President says Bitcoin will not be included in any EU central bank reserves. "Reserves have to be liquid, reserves have to be secure, they have to be safe, and they should not be plagued by money laundering or other criminal activities."

"they should not be plagued by money laundering or other criminal activities." unless it is of course their money laundering or other criminal activities.

Are she fertilising the ground for lock-in of the citizens, to a European CBDC? Where everyone who dare to expose or criticise the criminal elites will get frozen.
That. That's exactly what she's doing. "Sorry we fucked up the economy but at least you can pay for it :) "

Don't listen to what they say they'll do. Just watch what they do from a safe distance and laugh accordingly If they put bitcoin on their balance sheet it won't be my bitcoin. If they do realize they need to put bitcoin on their balance sheet it won't be my bitcoin.

It’s like she’s trying to clench sand her hands
She’s an indicted criminal, has no training nor knowledge in Economics. But she’s a well connected Jęwish lady, so she gets to screw everyone over.
The bullish part is that they’ve discussed whether they should use bitcoin in central bank reserves 🤷
I bet this is gonna make Bitcoin really sad when he hears this 😢

All the legitimate criticisms she could have made about it and she says this twaddle

I have a question, and I would really appreciate getting real answers, not junk. Like most of you, I love freedom, and it is clear that freedom is closely connected to financial independence. We cannot trust governments, and we know that corrupt politicians keep printing money, which devalues existing fiat currencies. Because of this, Bitcoin seems like a wonderful solution. Living in Germany, you often hear news about the government taking action against people who own Bitcoin. They might impose heavy taxes or require Bitcoin-related companies to work only with clients who provide personal data. Germany’s past shows that it does not have much moral integrity, and at the moment it is supporting a genocide. So if a state has no moral foundation, can we really trust it in any form? If leading politicians have no morals, they will not hesitate to increase taxes on Bitcoin ownership to a level that discourages regular people from using it. They could even make it illegal to own Bitcoin. I highly value Bitcoin and the idea of freedom, but if Germany or other corrupt governments make Bitcoin illegal, do we still have any options to work with it?

This question is a real one. I do not think corrupt politicians will hesitate to make Bitcoin illegal. So, living in such a country, what can you do? Sure, you could move away, but if one country starts, others might follow. It is a very tough question. The main goal is to understand what options we would have if corrupt governments made Bitcoin illegal.
If one country makes bitcoin illegal, it makes countries where it's legal even more appealing to those who hold bitcoin. And people holding bitcoin are exactly the type of people those countries will welcome as immigrants. The EU will lose value-contributing citizens and will die even faster. If one chooses to stay in a country that is clearly being unethical, and chooses to keep paying taxes, it's almost as if it's approval of those dirty "ethics". One staying in the country would either have to use non sanctioned markets/shops that accept bitcoin with non-kyc bitcoin, or continue paying taxes until you die. The EU is forcing its best people to leave.

Love your reply. Please don’t get me wrong — I have no intention of staying in Germany or in any other unethical country. I fully agree with you that paying taxes in such a country means supporting corrupt governments. The issue, however, is that I was thinking from the perspective of an ordinary person who might not have the financial means to leave. Let’s say you have children going to school, a wife, other family members, and you’re just a regular worker who might struggle to find a job in another country where Bitcoin is legal. So your assumption is that not all countries would unite to make Bitcoin illegal — that some would remain open to it and therefore attract Bitcoiners. Sounds good. Let’s, inshallah, see what the future holds.
