That makes sense, but I don’t think Germany is that mastermind. They probably wouldn’t have closed all their nuclear plants if they were also planning on mining. 

Undisciplined

Germany, doh!

I bet there will come a time when selling bitcoin Publicly and buying/mining privately will become the Logical course of action for governments.

Selling Publicly keeps up the PSYOP goal of making it look like they still have confidence in their currency.  If they said they were going to hodl the BTC they had their currency will implode.

This way it gives them time to buy more privately with the money they print.

Just needed to see if my tin foil hat still fits.
