 Germany missed out on 2.4 billion in gains in a few months by selling their corn 💀

 By law the city that seized it had to put it up for auction. By law they could not hold on to it. Kind of similar in cities across the US.  
 A silly law then.  
 Perhaps. But if that law wasn’t in place, the state would be incentivized to steal #bitcoin from citizens for their own benefit, just as some local LE depts use civil asset forfeiture in the US to add funds to their depts. 👎 I think requiring the state to sell it is a far better option for the people. 
 Good point, agreed.  
 By law 🤣
What did the state ever care about the law?
The state is the biggest gang. 
 It's ok, the government broke because they couldn't find 4 billion for next year's budget. 
 Oof.  
 2.4 billion… so far 
 When we do something we do it right!
😁
