🇩🇪 Germanny sells Bitcoin, 🇷🇺 Russia bans mining... But 🇸🇻 El Salvador EMBRACES it
I will keep this short and simple. Different countries dealt with $BTC differently. They will continue to do so. For now let's focus on the latest and major developments that affected the assets market...
Germany's big sell-off 🇩🇪💸
First stop, Germany. You might not know it, but Germany had a hefty stash of Bitcoin. We're talking about a whopping 50,000 BTC, all seized from a movie piracy site back in the day. But what does one do with such a treasure trove? Well, the German government decided to hit the "sell" button, moving these Bitcoins to exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken. This sell-off kicked off in July 2024, and wouldn't you know it, the market took a bit of a dive because of it. Imagine holding the bag when your neighbor decides to sell their entire collection of gold coins at once!
This move has been a bit controversial. Some folks in Germany, including a parliamentarian named Joana Cotar, are all like, "Why sell now? Bitcoin could be our modern-day gold reserve!" But the government seems to have said, "Nah, we'll take the cash, thanks."
Russia's Crypto clampdown 🇷🇺🚫
Now, let's jet over to Russia, where the crypto scene has been more like a roller coaster than a smooth cruise. Just when you thought Russia was getting cozy with Bitcoin, they throw a curveball. In late 2024, the Russian government decided to ban crypto mining in 10 regions for a cool six years... yes 6 years, starting January 1, 2025. Why? Well, it turns out mining uses a ton of energy, and Russia isn't too keen on letting that happen, especially in places where they're already short on power.
But here's the twist: Russia's President Putin has been seen as somewhat of a Bitcoin fan, suggesting that nobody can really ban Bitcoin. It's like saying you're banning the sun from shining; it's gonna do what it does! So while mining is out in some areas, the broader narrative in Russia seems to be more about controlling how crypto fits into their economic landscape rather than outright banning it.
El Salvador's Bitcoin love affair 🇸🇻❤️
And then, there's El Salvador, with president Nayib Bukele, embracing Bitcoin. Back in 2021, they made headlines by adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, making them the first country to do so. Since then, they've been all in on the Bitcoin game, mining their own coins using volcanic energy - talk about being green! By 2025, El Salvador is holding over 6,000 Bitcoins, showing the world how it's done in terms of embracing the future of money.
Despite some international skepticism and an IMF deal that slightly moderated their Bitcoin enthusiasm, El Salvador continues to push forward. They've even got plans for a Bitcoin bank to attract more crypto-savvy investors. It's like they're saying, "Come to El Salvador, where your Bitcoin is not just accepted but celebrated!"
