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:
This week there is a lot of positive news in German media. Some mayor news agencies remain still very sceptical and bring FUD. Price discussions remains fearful but with a small little glimmer of hope. I see a change in sentiment especially about the future of blockchain tech itself. It’s still a long way for full recovery of the market.

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)
I am not a native English speaker please PM if you have constructive critic about spelling and grammar.
