Well, it seems that not only France, but any government, institution, media, corporation, declared war on the cryptocurrencies.
Two explanations:
1) they are scared and try to destroy cryptomarket
2) the want to profit, so they manipulate the market to make price fall to buy cheap.
We'll see.
These both reasons are valid and the thing is that crypto currencies are given people complete freedom over their wealth. They are free to use their money the way they want to use. Bitcoin is not only providing them with the most amazing investment but also profits too.
People are crazy the way blockchain technologies work and giving people a true sense of liberty. I dont think so governments can destroy crypto.
