you're very welcome. so if you go to Germany, you'll definitely come to Berlin. there's a very old BTC group active there, the so-called Bitcoin Lab. i can strongly recommend it to you. (https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/bitcoin-lab-berlin/).
Als kleinen Appetitanreger für Deutschland, wenn du räumlich sehr flexibel bist, würde ich dir zwei Nächte an der Mosel mit entsprechenden Weinfesten empfehlen. Das ist Deutschland pur!
Exactly, and then the minimum reserve regulations will be relaxed, sovereign wealth funds and banks will be forced, as you say, to take this junk onto their balance sheets and we will have opened up yet another pond for this slurry.
the euro disaster, which has only further increased the divergences between the European economies, also has something very interesting apart from the socio-economic side: anyone traveling in Europe can experience the incredible regional and cultural differences that have existed for decades. I myself have just been traveling in Greece again, live in Spain and come from Germany and also enjoy the regional differences. However, this does not mean that the south of the eurozone in particular should be locked into a currency construct like the euro with the north, and that these economies should be bled dry. That is unethical!
i'm afraid that as a german i have to correct you on the point of patriotism. the last decades of re-education have driven every form of patriotism out of the german people. this nation only agrees on climate moralism. It is the new, stupid, ferment that still holds this strange people together in a makeshift way.
I have been trying for some time to explain to people in Germany that in order to be able to measure real economic growth, or at least approximate it, they would first have to subtract all government spending. even that is an intellectual challenge
