🇫🇷🤑 France’s Wild Bitcoin Dream: Ciotti’s Crypto Revolution? 🌪️

In the land where baguettes reign supreme and the Eiffel Tower pierces the sky, a new kind of revolution is brewing. Eric Ciotti, the self-proclaimed champion of the Union of the Right for the Republic (UDR), has tossed a stone into the still waters of French finance. According to a local whisperer-er, media outlet-Ciotti’s grand plan is to hoard Bitcoin like it’s going out of style. 🧑‍⚖️💰

Why? Well, because nothing says “financial sovereignty” like a pile of digital coins mined from surplus nuclear and hydroelectric power. 🇫🇷⚡ And let’s not forget the forfeited crypto-because who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt? 🏴‍☠️

Ciotti’s brainchild would be managed by a bureaucratic behemoth called a public administrative establishment. Fancy name, right? It’s basically a government body with a leash, supervised by the state. 🐕‍✊

But here’s the kicker: Ciotti wants to siphon 25% of deposits from France’s beloved Livret A and LDDS savings accounts. That’s right, your grandma’s nest egg could soon be funding Bitcoin instead of social housing. 🏠💔 The remaining 75%? Oh, it’ll still go to those boring things like loans and whatnot.

Under this scheme, France could snag roughly 55,000 BTC every year. That’s enough to make even Elon Musk raise an eyebrow. 🚀 But Ciotti, with his conservative charm, insists this will put France “at the forefront of monetary freedom.” Because nothing screams freedom like a government-backed Bitcoin stash. 🦅🤑

Will this pipe dream fly?

Ah, the million-euro question. Ciotti’s party holds a measly 16 out of 577 seats in the National Assembly. That’s like bringing a croissant to a sword fight. 🥖⚔️ And let’s not forget the opposition, who’ll likely laugh this proposal into the Seine.

Adding insult to injury, Ciotti’s been in hot water lately. The anti-corruption folks at Anticor claim he got a little too cozy with public funds during his days as Departmental Council president. Oops. 🤭💼

So, will France become the Bitcoin capital of the world? Or will this proposal fizzle out like a cheap bottle of champagne? Only time will tell. 🥂🤷‍♂️
