⚫Former German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has warned that the country is ignoring Bitcoin’s potential, missing out on significant economic opportunities. He argued that incorporating BTC into financial reserves could reduce dependence on traditional hedging instruments.
🔴Lindner criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz for inaction in the cryptocurrency sector, contrasting Germany’s stance with the U.S., which plans to make Bitcoin a strategic asset. He also recalled Saxony’s sale of BTC worth billions of dollars at low prices, while the U.S. actively expands its crypto holdings.
🟡Lindner urged the creation of a national BTC reserve to ensure Germany does not lag in crypto innovation.
