European Central Bank just shut the door on Bitcoin reserves. Hard.

Their president's reasoning? Bitcoin doesn't tick the boxes for central bank holdings—lacks liquidity, security, and safety standards they demand.

So while some nations explore BTC as a strategic asset, the ECB isn't budging. At least not yet.

Wonder if this stance shifts when the next financial cycle hits differently.

This isn't a joke, is it... The ECB is really still using this old excuse? Liquidity and safety standards are all just superficial; to put it bluntly, they simply don't want to change the existing financial order.

Another trap here? The ECB is still using the risk assessment framework from the last century... When the big inflation really gets dumped, you'll know what liquidity is.

The ECB's attitude is still too conservative... They will regret it when the crypto world truly breaks out.

Uh… the ECB is still tangled up in these outdated reasons, liquidity, security, safety standards… sounds like talking to someone from 2015, right?

Haha, the ECB's move is just burying their heads in the sand, truly thinking that the global economy won't change. When the time comes and they run out of money, let's see how tough they are.

Hilarious, the ECB is still being stubborn... Just wait until the Euro shrinks again, then we'll see how they explain it.

Another trap? Those people at the ECB just can't get it, by the time they realize, the flowers will be doomed.
