M.E.G.A - MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN

My Trading Background combinedwith an unhealthy commitment to macroeconomics has taught me one thing: whenthe US farts, Europe smells it. When the US sneezes, Europe catches a cold.Either way, the winds of change are blowing—and they’re bringing with them ashift in Bitcoin adoption from a government reserve perspective. YES, I’mtalking about a BITCOIN RESERVE.

I love Europe, but over the pastdecade, it has reached a tipping point—socially, morally, politically, andfinancially. The situation screams for action across all these domains to MAKEEUROPE GREAT AGAIN.

For now, though, let’s focus onthe financial mess and the lack of vision from those responsible. MichaelSaylor famously said, “Whoever prints and buys Bitcoin first, wins.” While Iagree this could be a solution, it takes two hands to clap. Europe needs itsown "Trumpelon" moment—a leader to cut through the countless obscuredepartments, pointless funded projects, and misguided donations that have ledto the deficits of doom that have hung over the European landscape for years.

The Americans will conquer thischallenge. Trump, like it or not, might have his George Washington moment if hesucceeds. But Europe? Europe won’t be left behind—it’s just unclear who willrise to lead the charge.

The Bitcoin Reserve will happen inthe US first. But before Europe and the rest of the world get too excited,let’s acknowledge that this will take years to implement. Sure, governments mayalready have Bitcoin, likely from confiscated assets, but these aren’t part ofnational reserves yet. For now, it’s all talk. The question is: why isn’tanyone in Europe taking action?

While scrolling through the noise,I caught a glimmer of hope from Christian Lindner, the former German FinanceMinister and leader of the liberal FDP party. Lindner has floated the bold ideaof central banks in Europe—like the Bundesbank and the European Central Bank(ECB)—considering cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as part of their reservesalongside gold and foreign currencies.

Speaking to DPA, Lindner, whosedismissal on November 6 caused the FDP to exit the government coalition andtriggered early elections (now set for February 23), emphasized a criticalpoint: Europe cannot afford to remain dependent on the United States in thisarea. His comments come amid a shift in the US stance on cryptoassets, withDonald Trump—yes, that Donald Trump—leading the charge toward a moreprogressive policy on Bitcoin and similar assets.

“The new Trump administration ispursuing an extremely forward-looking policy on cryptoassets like Bitcoin,”Lindner noted. And he isn’t wrong. There’s talk that the US Federal Reservemight incorporate crypto into its reserves alongside gold and foreigncurrencies. This is a move that could alter the financial landscape in a way wehaven’t seen since Bretton Woods.

Lindner didn’t mince words:Germany and Europe must not be left behind again. He called for an evaluationin Frankfurt, home to the ECB and the Bundesbank, to explore whethercryptoassets deserve a place in central bank reserves. “Crypto assets now representa significant part of global wealth,” he said. And while the ECB and Bundesbankoperate independently, Lindner made it clear that it’s time to put crypto onthe table for serious consideration.

He didn’t just stop at interviewseither. On X (the platform formerly known as Twitter), Lindner reiterated, “TheUS central bank is even considering including cryptoassets in its reserves.Frankfurt should also check it out. Germany and Europe must not be left behindagain.”

So here we are. Europe has anopening, but will it take it? Will Frankfurt step up? Or will the continent letanother opportunity slip away while the US once again takes the lead? Time, asalways, will tell—but one thing is clear: this discussion is no longertheoretical. It’s happening.

It’s time to MAKE EUROPE GREATAGAIN.
