my thinking after reading the OP was that it will turn out to be a historical mistake
within the next 12 months or so and I'm thinking they couldnt have been desperate
enough for the proceeds from the sale not to wait less than a year.....
I think that the error with the prefix historical requires a slightly longer period of 12 months. The German economy has a rather long and complex history for one decision in 12 months to have such weight.
They have already waited for a certain period, why would they wait another year? Because forum users think it's better that way?
It should also be kept in mind that the German government's decision to sell Bitcoin is not simple, and it certainly did not happen that the decision was made today and the next day Bitcoin went on sale. It is very possible that the initiative was launched approximately at the time of ATH, but a period of obtaining the consent of all authorities, ratification in the parliament or whatever process was needed. A process that certainly lasts a certain period.
Ah I know that this is but a snapshot in the timeline of the German government,
and yea 12 months maybe doesnt fall into a category of historical mistake but in
my book - selling for the sake of offloading their Bitcoin will definitely prove something,
Mistake, error, regret, short sighted?
To me it seems like something they saw as a burden and needed to be rid of it.
Just as many others see Bitcoin in an opposite frame.
If their finances in some department are under pressure and needed a boost
well then having something you got for nothing and selling it makes total sense too,
but I dont know if that was the case.
just my thoughts.
