News/opinion from/about Last week in Germany, Bavaria and international press in German language about cryptocurrencies. I want to catch especially the mood in Germany. They news are gathered from various mainstream media. A Translation of the Title, a short comment or summary on the content and a link to the original news.
Short IMHO news sentiment in Germany:
After a few furious weeks with G20, SEC and regulation. This week calms down. For me the most interesting part is that more media/newspaper reporting about cryptocurrencies in a serious way (not only “o gosh bitcoin price”). Less news but partly with higher quality.
Prize development:
Total M.CAP.: 308.242.000.000 $ - 263.099.000.000 $
$BTC: 8.139,52 $ – 6.973,53 $

Nothing worth to mention
The list is not complete, especially duplicate and a lot of coin/ico shill news are missing. I have tried not to filter too much and to present the sources in a balanced way from the general press to special press (like computers and finance)
