Buddy I love your exact words biggest losers, it's unfortunate for them though it might be as a result of lack of understanding or may be they were trying to do away with the said assets not knowing that they were doing that at their own detriment, though I don't know how things are been done in Germany but I think Germany as a country that are good in technology would have known that Bitcoin is a futuristic investment that has to do with perseverance, some people are talking about choice when it comes to Bitcoin investment, its funny, though I won't dispute the fact that people are left to decide on whatever they chose to do but such shouldn't be an option in Bitcoin investment, individual decisions should be in line with the concept of the asset, Bitcoin has not stop being a long-term asset because of its futuristic profit, so i believe anyone taking decisions that does not support such established fact should not be called a bitcoiner in the first place, Germany as a whole should not be blamed much in this matter, may be those in charge of the asset dont know much about it, they may have thought that they have arrived based on the amount the asset has generated within the number of years they have hodl it, though they messed up, they would have considered seeking advise from from either their financial team or invite some bitcoin investment advisors to guild them on what to do instead of taking such hasty decision, though we won't tell if the country supports the existence of Bitcoin itself, most of this countries sees Bitcoin as a threat to their financial system.

Yes of course countries individuals will definitely learn from this as you said, It will serve as a lesson to others, Bitcoin has come to stay, anyone thinking towards a brief stay in the investment should be wise and retrace his or her step to avoid regret.
