Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis revealed he once owned 2,000 Bitcoins, which he donated due to ideological opposition. In an interview with NEWS 24/7, Varoufakis expressed regret over the donation as Bitcoin's price has soared. He criticized Bitcoin as an 'oligopoly currency' and a 'dangerous illusion' of depoliticized money, arguing it cannot escape political and public governance frameworks.
