Keeping my fingers crossed for your side of things.  I hope your lawyers are really good and you can afford to pay them a lot, because bitcoin is a currency, and they are going to have to be very creative to come up with persuasive arguments that it should not be subject to the same regulations as other currencies because it operates differently.  At least argue personal freedom, privacy interest, business freedom, encouraging young technologies to grow and thrive.

Bitcoin is only a currency according to the bitcoin community, but not according to french law.  Now, the bitcoin community does not create law, does it?   So to me it's clear.
