Peter Hahne says it openly. Many others have been thinking it for a long time. And the comments under the first video with Peter Hahne make it very clear:
Those in power do whatever they want – and criminalize everyone who holds a different opinion.
So the decisive question is no longer whether there are reasons for a major demonstration.
The reasons are already right in front of us.
The decisive question is:
Are you ready to say stop?
Not someday.
Not when things have become even worse.
But now.
Is 2026 the time for a major demonstration?
That is exactly what the conversation with Peter Hahne and Marc from the Bitcoin Hotel was about:
Is now the time for a new major demonstration?
My answer is clear:
Yes – if the conditions are right.
Because a major demonstration is not wishful thinking and not a one-day social media impulse.
A major demonstration means preparation, structure, reach, responsibility, funding, technology, follow-up work, and a strong shared goal.
In 2020, much of it was spontaneous.
In 2026, we need more awareness, more cooperation, and more participation.
The shared umbrella: peace, freedom, truth
In 2020, the unifying theme was the defense of our fundamental rights. That was strong, clear, and immediately felt by everyone.
Today, there are even more reasons to take to the streets:
- Peace instead of war logic
- Freedom instead of digital paternalism
- Truth instead of propaganda
- Accountability instead of cover-ups
- Cash, free speech, and self-determination instead of digital control
- No to digital ID, the digital euro, censorship, and permanent crisis
For me, one thing is clear:
Peace, freedom, truth can still be the umbrella under which many people can come together.
This is not about debating every single issue down to the last detail.
It is about standing together now for what is greater and what unites us.

Jetzt eskaliert es – alle reden über Großdemos
Where our weaknesses are right now
The conversation made one thing very clear:
If we truly want another major demonstration, then we have to be honest about two central issues.
1. Mobilization
This is currently our biggest bottleneck.
In 2020, there was something special in the air. Many people naturally got involved. Songs were written, videos were created, flyers were handed out, buses were organized, groups were activated, ideas were contributed. It was a true participation movement.
Today, that is exactly what is missing in many places.
Many people watch.
Many people comment.
Many people wait.
But a major demonstration does not arise from reach alone.
It arises from participation.
Back then, we had:
- regional QUERDENKEN initiatives
- freedom messengers handing out flyers
- people organizing buses
- offline mobilization in neighborhoods and cities
- a strong willingness to roll up one’s sleeves and help
Today, I see many channels and public figures with large audiences – but often the decisive activation is missing.
That is why my message is clear:
Contact alternative media outlets, journalists, and channels directly. Not tomorrow. Today.
For example: Eva Herman, Jasmin Kosubek, Marc Friedrich, Milena Preradovic, Kolja Barghoorn, Henning Rosenbusch, Paul Brandenburg, Dr. Markus Krall, Atlas Initiative, apolut.net, AUF1, apollo News, Nius, Michelle Gollan, Monika Gruber, Dr. Daniele Ganser, Politik Spezial, NuoViso, Eingeschenkt TV, bitteltv, Tichys Einblick, Kettner Edelmetalle, Ben Berndt (“ungeskriptet”), Meet your Mentor, and many other alternative channels
Please do not wait for “the people with reach” to take care of it.
QUERDENKEN was never a spectator movement. QUERDENKEN was always a participation movement.
If you want a major demonstration, then help make the topic impossible to ignore.
2. Funding
The second major issue is funding.
This also needs to be said clearly:
A major demonstration does not only cost money on the day itself. It requires energy, time, technology, rooms, infrastructure, security, communication, and legal support before and after the event.
In 2020, I was able to pre-finance many things from my own assets.
That situation no longer exists today.
My assets remain blocked by the tax office.
My accounts continue to be terminated.
Debanking continues.
That is why funding has to be rethought today.
The solution: decentralized and independent
From my perspective, the best solution is decentralized funding through Bitcoin.
Not because everyone has to understand everything immediately.
But because it makes us independent of account closures, freezes, and political interference.
If we are serious about freedom, then our funding must also become freedom-oriented.
Of course, I understand that Bitcoin is still unfamiliar to many people.
That means we need education, simple explanations, and people willing to guide others step by step.
At the same time, one thing is also clear:
If there are financially strong entrepreneurs or groups who say:
This demonstration matters to us – we will help carry it,
then that is also a path.
I’ll say it openly:
Anyone who is financially strong today and truly values freedom, peace, and truth can now make a decisive contribution.
What needs to happen now
If you want a new major demonstration, then agreement alone is not enough. What is needed now is contribution.
For example:
- bring this topic into your groups
- share the video with Peter Hahne
- contact alternative media outlets directly
- activate regional groups, Monday walks, farmers, truck drivers, entrepreneurs, and initiatives
- contribute flyers, graphics, buses, contacts, and ideas
- engage seriously with the topic of funding
- ask yourself honestly: Am I ready not only to talk, but to help carry this?
Now is the time for clarity
We can all see what is happening.
The noose keeps tightening.
Digital control is being expanded.
Criticism is being criminalized.
Peace is being replaced by militarization.
Truth is being replaced by narratives.
And yet many are still waiting for the right moment.
I believe:
The right moment does not create itself.
It is created when people decide.
So I am asking you directly:
Is now the time for major demonstrations?
Are you ready to set priorities again?
Are you ready not just to comment, but to help carry this?
If yes, then show it.
Not only with words.
But with your energy.
QUERDENKEN was never “me.”
QUERDENKEN was always us.
Yours,
Michael
