According to the NEWS 24/7 interview video, Greek former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said that he once held 2,000 BTC, but later donated them because he did not agree with the ideology behind Bitcoin. Varoufakis has long criticized Bitcoin, believing that money cannot be separated from political and public governance frameworks.
