In a world where hindsight is 20/20, the German government has proven that selling early is not just for panicked investors but also for nations with seized assets. Back at July 2024, Germany decided to liquidate 50,000 bitcoins, obtained from Movie2k.to, at a “bargain” price of $53,000 each. They must have been feeling pretty smug walking away with $2.65 billion. Fast forward to today, with Bitcoin ATH at $109,382, and we can only imagine the collective facepalm echoing through Berlin.

The Missed Opportunity
Imagine the government board room conversation:
Finance Minister: "Bitcoin is at $53,000. Should we hold and see what happens?"
Advisor: "No, sell it all! This is definitely the top."
Fast forward six months:
Finance Minister: "Where’s Bitcoin at now?"
Intern: "...$109,382."
Finance Minister: "WTF??"
Why Stop at Bitcoin?
If this is the strategy, why not expand it? Seize Van Goghs and sell them at IKEA prices. Confiscate luxury yachts and raffle them off as fishing boats. After all, why let assets appreciate when you can cash out immediately and avoid the stress of making billions later?
Lesson for the Future
In their defense, the German government wasn’t trying to time the market; they were just following the rules. But this case will go down as a text book example of how bureaucratic caution can accidentally light billions on fire. Maybe next time, they’ll consult a pro-crypto millennial—or better yet, HODL like the rest of us dreamers.
Until then, let us toast to Germany’s impeccable timing. At least someone out there is probably enjoying the cheap bitcoins they picked up in 2024. Cheers to them!
Don't be like Germany,hold on to your "hats"(crypto)
