It’s all of the above with the addition that the German government is warning its citizens against anything digital. Germany has always been an analogue country, the Germans have analogue in their DNA and are fighting the digital world with every fibre of their entire being.

But that’s because Germany has been dominating all analogue technologies for the past century. They have the best diesel cars, the best copper phone lines, the best coal power plants and the best coins and banknotes.

Excuse me, sir. Torsten Daerr
1)What is the meaning of because they’re volatile?
2) Are you a supporter of cryptocurrencies or you are against them?

This means that cryptocurrencies are still very new and that’s why their value is constantly changing. With more widespread adoption cryptocurrencies will become more stable and eventually replace analogue FIAT currencies.

The advantages of cryptocurrencies outweigh their disadvantages which is why I’m very excited about this new technology. For this reason we have started the Blockchain test category together with Sumejja Muratagić-Tadić.
