**News Flash: Germany's Bitcoin Blunder!**

- The German government recently sold 50,000 BTC seized from movie piracy site movie2k, netting $2.87 billion.

- They missed out on an extra $124 million as Bitcoin prices jumped 16.55% right after the sale. Oops! 🚀

- The sale was an "emergency" move to secure funds for criminal proceedings, fearing a 10% drop in BTC value.

- Meanwhile, Bitcoin saw massive inflows, with $1.35 billion added by investors, while short positions saw outflows.

- Lesson learned: Timing is everything—even for governments!
