For weeks, I've been watching the square in front of the ECB, always hoping they'd give themselves away: those people with the orange Bitcoin logos, the stickers, and the orange safety vests. Bitcoiners. I hate them and their strange internet money, they want to cut us off u2013 us, the ones responsible for real monetary policy. They pass by the ECB "quite by chance" and act like they're just interested passersby, but I know better.nnThe climate activist has already been sitting there u2013 for three long weeks u2013 in silence, in front of the glass facade of the European Central Bank. No banner, no speech. Just himself and a whiteboard. Then a bicycle comes speeding up, a few empty bottles in the basket. But there's something stuck to the frame: the Bitcoin logo. Two people, two symbols, one common place. I know immediately: That's enough.nnLegal basisnnAccording to Article 8 paragraph 1 of the Basic Law (GG) :nnu201cAll Germans have the right to assemble peacefully and without weapons without registration or permission.u201dnAccording to the Federal Constitutional Court, an assembly is a gathering of several people for the purpose of collective expression . Two are sufficient.nnAnd the Assembly Act (VersG) states in Section 14 Paragraph 1:nnu201cAnyone wishing to hold a public gathering in the open air must notify the competent authority at least 48 hours before the announcement.u201dnThese two have not registered anything. This alone constitutes a violation.nnIntervention optionsnnSection 15 para. 1 VersG allows:nnu201cThe competent authority may prohibit the assembly or make it subject to certain conditions if, according to the circumstances cognizable at the time the order is issued, public safety or order would be directly endangered if the assembly were to take place.u201dnThat's exactly what happens. The police arrive, confront the two, and ask for their registration u2013 nothing. So: they're banned from the ECB forecourt. Anyone who refuses risks being dispersed.nnAnd then the bombshell: According to Section 29 Paragraph 1 No. 1 of the Insurance Act, anyone whonnu201cholds a public gathering in the open air without the required registration.u201dnThis carries a fine. In practice, it amounts to 150 euros.nnTriumph of the Fiat Bron nThe Bitcoiners look perplexed, almost indignant. "We were just standing there u2013 peacefully, having a pleasant conversation." But that's enough. It may look harmless to them u2013 but to me, it's a clear case. A whiteboard, a bicycle with a logo: all evidence of the shared message.nnI lean back while the officers take their IDs. Two Bitcoiners, one protestu2014and ultimately a ban from the area plus a fine. For me, a small but delicious victory in the service of order.", "sig": "7751d00a253732292fe4d74234317eb095a3c7a7581a324a7e77344a77a5b2b5c65efc9038695cfacbbaa9d521f2fecd440e95246e0a58ad5ff071ce8fd58c28"}
