I was browsing through the Internet and got to X and came across an article that talks more about bitcoin investment and I think it's what some of us may find interesting to learn and build more confidence with bitcoin and also why we should not give up easily being a holder.

This is about the German government and their bitcoin investment, which shows how they had invested about 50,000 bitcoin and sold while the market was at $55,000.

You can see from when this decision was made in respect of their selling price to what the market price of bitcoin is today, they would have just made double of their selling rate as at then now, if they had hold to this time before selling.

The German government doesn't care about the price, they are eager to liquidate the 50,000 BTC to make it fiat money because it is free money after all.  The amount of BTC was seized by the German government from piracy website Movie2K (movie2k.to).  You can read more on this article: https://securityaffairs.com/158432/cyber-crime/piracy-site-movie2k-bitcoin.html?  So it is wrong to say that the German government invests in Bitcoin but rather it was seized.

Regardless I think it is just our minds playing the what if scenario after some actions has done.  Yes if they sold BTC today, it could have doubled in value but what if the price of BTC plummeted to 50% of the price they sold the seized Bitcoin?  They have lost half of their liquidation then?  So whether the German government's decision is right or wrong is not ours to say because we couldn't say anything during the time when they sold the BTC.  Did any of us petition and say, hey don't sold it yet because it will be higher next year, I think no?
