Bad guys use cash.
Bictoin is too volatile !

The young feller makes me nervous with his speedy talk.

But as far is i understood their view on Bitcoin is quite neutral. It's a tool among others (existent or yet to come) to do good and bad things, so it is better we try to understand and regulate it than ban/condemn it.

to be honest, I think they were objective, which is really positive and good for bitcoin... let the market decide otherwise

It is pretty similar to the US senate hearings - mentioning Silk Road / contraband etc... but also the benefits.   The guy talking about Bitcoin Central earlier said he didn't know about how many transactions were from France, but he didn't think very many, mostly 'Northern European' (Germany and UK, presumably) as France is a little behind in terms of Bitcoin.   I think this point was telling, the French do feel a little behind the curve now that Germany has officially accepted / recognised BTC, while other countries have not (as one guy said).

The only problem is how to regulate for TVA (sales tax) and how to classify exchanges etc.   This is a very French thing as they like to have regulation (even of their language) and they instinctively want a 'French position'.

But in reality they are not big players in the Bitcoin European landscape and in any case will not dare to differ from Germany very much....

The worst that will happen is that they drown BTC exchanges and transactions with a ton of French red tape.

so the senate is asking who owns the protocol, and "no one" as an answer seems not convincing enough for him hahahaha

He thinks the network belongs to "big companies"...

the Prof talking now makes really good points, more interesting he is objective Smiley


Edit: so speculation is good? I didn't know that hahahaha, listen from the professor and speculate guys, it is okay he said Smiley

French customs bought bitcoins !
(in order to catch and arrest some drug dealer)

Speed, apparently...   tut tut, I though the French had more class than that Wink

This guy is a bitcoin evangelist, and he also says it's not a currency. Banque de France, quit wasting time and tell us something we don't already know.  

Heh, I was in that room.
Its not just a currency.
Network, platform, invention...


Very cool.

And let's not forget what it did for people in Cyprus and elsewhere because the gov't lost their hard-earned money.

If anybody cares, yet another tv show that mentions bitcoin.  In the tv show Person of Interest, the feds apparently shut down a black market bazaar that sells drugs online for bitcoins.  I'm still not sure if these shows are trying to bash bitcoin, but in any case they are providing a lot of exposure for bitcoin.

just finished watching the episode, too bad ross didn't get saved by a ex cia operative who ends up letting him go in italy lol SPOILER LoL

I don't like this whole, "Bitcoin has risk" thing that China likes to do. Seems like its just foreshadowing, "We're gonna crash the price".  Cheesy

It has risks because people don't know what governments will come up with in regards to it, so it's governments that are causing that risk and at the same time they are warning others about it... No logic to me.

Yes, 'bitcoin has risk.' But keep breathing the air in Beijing, nothing to see here...
