I said "gave him instructions to think about how to regulate the cryptos" How is that overreacting
It's because of the context of the news.
We were talking about what might France propose and you added that they have already asked a guy who is anti-bitcoin to come with a plan on how to regulate cryptos, like they already have a plan in place and they appointed the biggest enemy of bitcoin to make it happen.
When he was just asked for a report to combat money laundering via coins.
The UK did that two months ago and nothing came out of it.
I don't see France taking a hard stance against crypto.
And no, in France, in order to pass a law, no absolute majority of the members of the parliament is required.
A law can be voted and accepted during the night while there is nobody or just 3-5 persons in the parliament
I have no clue how the parliament works in France but in most democratic countries, laws that are non affecting the constitution might passed with a simple majority of votes in favor.
But here at least, there is no voting until at least 1/3 of either the senators or the lower house are present.
I would find it pretty weird that something like that would be possible in France.
