  • Welcome! My name is dr. Münzmacher. I am an expert

  • in the new digital currency, bitcoin.

  • Unlike euros, dollars, or other monopoly money, bitcoins are not created

  • out of thin air by a central bank.

  • That means no inflation.

  • Beleive me: we had lots of inflation here in Germany -

  • and we never want that again.

  • So, if there is no central bank, where do bitcoins come from?

  • Well, everybody can create bitcoins by using a special software.

  • But it's not easy, just like finding a gold nugget in a ton of earth.

  • I would love to tell you all the details of the cryptographic algorithms behind it.

  • No! Please don't bore your audience.

  • No more, Herrmann! I just want to explain the advantages.

  • The amount of bitcoins is limited -

  • that's why there can never be a bitcoin inflation.

  • It's very cheap to transfer bitcoins from one part of the world to another,

  • just like sending an email.

  • Bitcoins are like cash, so if you want to pay for something,

  • without any data-hungry monster knowing about it,

  • bitcoins protect your privacy.

  • But don't forget to pay your taxes.

  • But the fact, that bitcoins are like cash, has one disadvantage.

  • If your computer crashes, all your bitcoins will be lost.

  • That's why we in Bitcoin Deutschland are offering a secure account

  • for your bitcoins on our servers.

  • Our platform is very safe and reliable - German technology.

  • The main purpose of bitcoin.de is to buy and sell bitcoins from other users -

  • not only in Germany, but worldwide.

  • And our software developers are working hard

  • on more great tools for the future of money.

  • And then we will rule the world!

  • No, stupid, those times are over!

  • We want our customers to be happy, and money to be sound and trustworthy.

  • Just like us...
