 How does that post relate to Bitcoin? 
 "have fun playing with your bitcoins" was a line in his speech at that bitcoin conference he spoke at

if you ask me it was an obvious jab trying to do the bitcoin HFSP thing because as you see in this statement USD uber alles 
 also, "america first" is precisely the same expression as "deutschland uber alles" "germany above all" and i'm pretty sure that there was dog whistle expressions that Hitler used that were identical in intent also to "make america great again" because germany was ruined twice, first by WW1, and then by the stock market crash, which was how he rose to power, to "fix der vaterland" 
 btw, to make some context of this there was no "vaterland" only a few decades before hitler's reign

literally they federated into the german union

prior to this, germany was split between north and south after the failure of the holy roman empire, which basically was mostly germany, in a large part due to the protestant reformation which october 31 is a notable date for this, and why Satoshi chose this date to release (probably)

this nationalistic nonsense was rooted in the old catholic system and germany was at the forefront of casting off the yoke of Rome... the catholics also destroyed the peace in Iceland a few centuries before by imposing "voluntary" tithes on the "unum sanctum" (ie, everyone)... the roman catholic church has always been a cloak for a european union, and they did the same kind of bullshit as the modern one does, and similarly, they are equally NOT christian
