What s the implication, that those who don't own are not free?

She is trying to say that don't listen to me, listen to my son. She is not free herself, because she has to defend the ECB and the euro. She implies, by using his son as an example, that ECB and the euro can't compete with bitcoin in a free market.

This is not at all a reasonable interpretation of what she's saying.

It's quite reasonable. Otherwise, she wouldn't mention him at all. She wanted to signal that 'son of the president of ECB owns bitcoin'. It's open to interpretation.
