Exactly. German politics has been completely captured by the globalist agenda. That goes for the entirety of Europe. US hanging by a thread.

maybe has something to do with the technical education and/or living standards? buying hardware for a node must be considered relatively cheap over there/very little expense

Germany has a vibrant and enthusiastic community with many Bitcoin-only podcasts and YouTube channels.

That story a...

I did not know this. How usable are bitcoins in Germany? Today

Germany is very conservative with money. Lot of cash payments. Lot of gold bugs. But there are also many tech guys. Getting the conservativs to understand how conservative bitcoin is takes time. Once they know it they stay however. Maybe americans join and leave with bullruns but don't really dig...
