... it was considering ...
We are discussing ...
these are the keywords and in my experience there are lots of these types of "discussion" and "consideration" all around the world about bitcoin and banning or not banning it. even in Japan, you think they just all 100% agreed about adopting bitcoin?
and of course in the end it will all come down to two things: taxes and illegal activity.
they don't care about the second one that much, they care mostly about the taxes and the revenue that will create for them.
