A stupid proposal. Why, please, stipulate freedom from profit? How the hell is that supposed to promote Germany as a location for innovation? You can't make up such garbage. Once again, it's just nonsense what they're doing. Profits from Bitcoin are speculation like everything else and should be taxed. Point taken.

@gerdgue Sure, I take risks and invest my money because the state currency does not fulfill the function of a store of value over time and if I am successful, I should give part of it to the state. If I am not successful, I bear the risk alone and am left with the loss. Absolutely fair. Point taken.

@stefan_21 As if Bitcoin were stable in value. 🥱🥱🥱 Keep dreaming of a stable Bitcoin. Ask yourself why almost nobody accepts it as a means of payment and why it is only used on the darknet.... See for yourself, right? Even Tesla only accepted it for a short time.

@gerdgue Well, Bitcoin is volatile, but volatile upwards. Over a longer period of time, Bitcoin is a much better store of value than the euro.
The euro loses value, BTC becomes wertvoller🤷♂️
The fact that the euro is accepted has absolutely nothing to do with its properties. As an entrepreneur, you are simply forced to do so by the state :)
In general, however, the number of companies accepting BTC is steadily increasing. It just doesn't make sense for consumers to spend money that is becoming more valuable instead of money that is steadily losing value.

@stefan_21 Nothing only goes up. Bitcoin thrives on high demand and limited supply. We'll see if this goes on forever...

@gerdgue It depends on what you are calculating in. Measured in fiat currencies, Bitcoin can of course rise for all eternity - simply because fiat currencies depreciate.
That's the joke. How can the market price a good correctly if the benchmark (i.e. money) is constantly changing?
It's like measuring your home while the folding rule is constantly getting a little longer😁
But so be it - Bitcoin does not necessarily have to generate more and more demand, the devaluation of the currency in which Bitcoin is measured is sufficient.
Otherwise, 1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin.
