Interesting. But contrary to how you sell it it's the big German state that again knows better what's good for people. With that said it's not an opposite vector to some foobar from the past. It's the same foobar as it was in the past. No kidding. The big state is a problem. State having less and less control over people liberties would be the right direction and the opposition to that foobar. And not state telling people what currency they should use. Definitely not. I have spent past few years in fintech, mostly in crowdfunding. The lesson learned is that state is the biggest problem in many countries. Free People should have an option to make mistakes. If people are naive enough to buy shaky crypto they should be allowed to do it. And most countries at least don't penalize crypto. Here the problem is not the good of German citizens but who controls value flow . With this huge consortium behind libra, not just Facebook, it would be the first time in the crypto world where crypto would have a real chance of being used for transaction and not for investments, which may go totally in the interest of most Germans. All but the people that benefit on the endless quantitative easing cycles that Germany controlled ECB keeps injecting. Average German folks will lose on this ban.
