You can't generalize here and call all politicians in EU, (or EU as institution), stupid because of statements from a few politicians.
People are not the same and have different characters, opinions, ideas about anything in the world so before you make such judgment listen others and wait for some official decision about this matter.
Or, even better, send to this politicians detailed info about bitcoin and help them to understand this matter better.
I don't think any politician is going to willingly listen or read up on detailed information about bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies as of right now. There is just no
need for it yet. A good majority of politicians are backed or corrupted by the Central Banks in every nation in some form or fashion. I mean hell, the Central banks just dropped the gold standard completely about 50 or so years ago (not quite sure of the exact date)... so this all is still kind of relatively new territory in an economic sense.
If/when there ever comes a time where the inflation the Central Banks create skyrockets, then there is no other choice than for the politicians to do something about it. So it makes sense that politicians are trying to ban it, especially politicians from France because they have to seem like they are trying to protect their citizens from the nasty terrorist organizations that "use it" to fund their operations...
TL;DR: There needs to be a need for Bitcoin before politicians want to accept it.
