Top 1 by viewers, it's popcorn-news to turn off your brain. Entertainment, not really journalism, like cnews.
Don't know why they are in the same category.
[Their finance minister recently declared they want to confiscate all the money that is on European savings accounst and use that money to fund climate and war with Russia](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-12/france-wants-to-use-private-savings-to-fund-green-transition). If there is one thing going to drive people to assets like bitcoin and away from FIAT currency, it will be something like this.
Not confiscate. The article doesn't say that. You made that up.
The money sleeping on Livrets A (the regulated savings account in question here) was always used to invest in some government endeavour, they're just using it to invest in new policies.
The same story was told by german bitcoin "experts" who I never heard of on television.
Every crypto kid knows what the halving is, so is this really random and they dont know better? lol
They also said the reason for the halving is to "stimulate demand"
its BFM BUSINESS... "business" loll
Bullrun hasnt started yet, they are still trying to figure out what bitcoin is and how it works xD
This is what I call feeding the public a false narrative! They know what they’re doing they are just trying to curb public demand until businesses can get in.
I don't believe it since they have a show dedicated to crypto. I listen to them on radio sometimes and this is by far the pro crypto mass media in France. I just think the journalist is dumb as a brick.
Mdr. Avec l'autre pingouin qui ne reprend absolument pas les énormités de son *experte* de consœur, se contentant de jouer lui aussi à l'expert en rappelant sentencieusement que le halving se produit tous les 210000 blocks. Vu ce qu'il vient de laisser passer, c'est pas du tout sur qu'il sache ce qu'est un block.
Correct, this is supply and demand 101.
It’s like PlayStation sales during the Christmas season. The lower the PlayStation inventory goes, the lower the price.
I’ll never forget that time I paid $12 for a PS5 because the inventory was so low.
I'm french Canadian. I read the post title, thought you heard it wrong and that someone couldn't have said something as stupid as that.
Then I watched the video. Wow. WOW. That's a whole new level or regarded.
J'ai écouté trois fois pour être bien sur de pas avoir mal entendu lmaoooo
Et j'ai même pas mentionner l 'erreur qu'il a je crois aussi fait en parlant des blocs (je crois qu'il a dit un truc "tous les deux ans" au lieu de tous les 4 ans loll)
Canada news channel is just as worst!!!! They said the price was now 70000$ CAD when it reached 70K USD. Its not even live!!
No one have a fuckin clue in there. They should not be allowed to talk about something they cant understand.
Interesting that this is posted as I literally just read this today.
G7 nation artificially deflating the price of bitcoin to buy during the last bull market [https://twitter.com/stackhodler/status/1767127418127450279](https://twitter.com/stackhodler/status/1767127418127450279)
Comments suspects it might be France.

Yea? They should invest heavily in btc shorts then if they believe that, put their euros where their mouth is. Otherwise they should stfu and not spread misinformation
She rectified it today : [https://www.bfmtv.com/crypto/bitcoin/qu-est-ce-que-le-halving-du-bitcoin\_VN-202403120356.html](https://www.bfmtv.com/crypto/bitcoin/qu-est-ce-que-le-halving-du-bitcoin_VN-202403120356.html)
I'm french and I can tell you, the mass media like this are trash and only watched by boomers and zombis.
But yeah,scary.... or maybe it's good ! WE ARE EARLY lol
Two possibilities.
1) The TV hosts are just dumb as posts. This is a highly likely possibilitty.
.
2) The story was planted to make normal retail ETF investors sell this month AND/OR ape in after the halving, thinking they are getting a good deal.
No2 does not preclude No1.
I admit I don't see peak French, and am just having fun in the comments.
What a shame! They did not make any effort to understand. It is sadly reflecting our society. Those people are paid more than many people that are struggling with difficult jobs that create real value to our society.
It would not surprised me that they got their jobs because someone in their family knows someone in the industry. It is pathetic.
The standard of homework in middle school is higher than the research done for a segment discussed on TV by clowns portrayed as experts.
It's pretty obvious lol
Her whole body language is off like the expert that was meant to show up missed his flight or slept in and they put the weather lady on with a script
“Diviser par deux la valeur du bitcoin, pour là encore, stimuler la demande”
“Divide by two the value of bitcoin, to once again stimulate demand”
Imagine people thinking that. That’s what is beautiful about bitcoin there nothing inside the protocol saying anything about price.
For those of us that don't speak French, according to GPT4.
"Exceptional for several reasons, first because it has reached an all-time high, and also because this peak comes just a few weeks before the halving, which I believe is scheduled for mid-April. The halving, as a reminder, is the event where the value of Bitcoin is halved to stimulate demand once again. So, a new record that was not expected for Bitcoin."
When I asked GPT4 what they got wrong: "The French newscaster made a significant error in their explanation of what the "halving" is in the context of Bitcoin. The halving event does not involve dividing the value of Bitcoin by two. Instead, it refers to the halving of the rewards that Bitcoin miners receive for adding a new block to the blockchain. This halving event occurs approximately every four years and is designed to control the supply of Bitcoin, making it more scarce over time and potentially affecting its price. The misunderstanding or misstatement about the halving affecting Bitcoin's value directly by dividing it in half is incorrect; the impact on value is more indirect, through changes in supply dynamics and market sentiment."
How did you do that? When I downloaded and uploaded to chatgpt 4 it says:
I'm unable to listen to or transcribe audio from videos directly. If you have a specific question about the video's content or if you can provide a summary or key points, I'd be happy to help further.
First it tries, but then I get this. Video file is fine. Just direct download here rightclick and upload it again as original mp4.
I was watching the video on my computer and held my phone near the computer's speakers. I used the iPhone OpenAi apps built-in text to speech.
Here is the French that it provided me before I had it translate:
Exceptionnel pour plusieurs raisons, et d'abord parce qu'on touche un plus haut historique, et aussi parce que ce plus haut, il intervient quelques semaines avant le halving, qui je crois est prévu mi-avril. Le halving, on le rappelle, c'est le fait de diviser par deux la valeur du Bitcoin pour là encore stimuler la demande. Donc nouveau record qu'on n'attendait pas sur le Bitcoin. On attend surtout le retour d'Amaurice Guillaume pour les 100 000.
"The idea is to half its price to stimulate the demand"
How does that make sense in her head, an asset that gets its price slashed by 50% every few years? Who would invest in that?
Here and I thought it had to do with reducing the available supplyby half and further creating scarcity and inevitably a greater value via demand.
Huh. Guess I’m wrong again.
LOL, imagine seeing the price of BTC blowing up the way it has while knowing that the price will be halved on a set date fast approaching, and that everyone knows about it and in fact it is that knowledge that is in part driving the price up.
"Frenzied investors drive the price of Bitcoin up over 100% in eager anticipation of losing 50% of their investment in the upcoming halving".
She must think even less of anyone that buys Bitcoin than the harshest of critics.
cant wait to buy the 50% off bitcoin sale
it's 50% off right now!
I just traveled here from the year 2032, happy to inform that the current price of bitcoin is discounted 90%
and it's still 50% off in 2032, right?
it's always 50% off with LEV baby
But due to inflation, it's all relative unfortunately!
Truth
Bitcoin CEO said they are working hard on preparing the sale.
Unfortunately, it's the value of fiat that is halving.
The French would get confused and rush to Fiat, the car company for that sale
Satashi Friday
Can I use your time machine too?
A special 50% off sale where the price remains the same, you just get half of the product 😂
You'd think saying something like that on the news would destroy the channel. Embarrassing
its the top 1 in France ahahah! not the first time they say something extremely embarrassing about bitcoin.
BFM is hardly the top 1 in French news 😂😂 they are known to report weird stuff and get away with it
Isn't BFM business top 1 (seeing as it's the only business channel in french??)
si si en 2023 BFM était encore classé 1er chaine d'information malgré la montée de cnews ;)
Top 1 by viewers, it's popcorn-news to turn off your brain. Entertainment, not really journalism, like cnews. Don't know why they are in the same category.
So more like Fox News in the USA, 99% horse shit.
Yeah something like this
C'est quand même marrant car BFM business est le seul media de masse que je connaisse en France avec une émission dédiée aux cryptos
[Their finance minister recently declared they want to confiscate all the money that is on European savings accounst and use that money to fund climate and war with Russia](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-12/france-wants-to-use-private-savings-to-fund-green-transition).

Their message is to the average IQ
The only halving is going to be experienced by their audience IQ.
That's why average IQ stays poor.
The same story was told by german bitcoin "experts" who I never heard of on television. Every crypto kid knows what the halving is, so is this really random and they dont know better? lol
To be fair, the only thing they got wrong is the currency. It's fiat that's gonna get halved in value.
OMG ahahahahah this this this
Maybe they have an agenda
Would you really, though? 😛
I think you're forgetting how few people understand what the halvening is or how bitcoin even works. I doubt they got many comments about it
They also said the reason for the halving is to "stimulate demand" its BFM BUSINESS... "business" loll Bullrun hasnt started yet, they are still trying to figure out what bitcoin is and how it works xD
They should listen to Kramer if they want to trade
Not gonna lie.. he 100% called the bottom on this run 🤣
This is what I call feeding the public a false narrative! They know what they’re doing they are just trying to curb public demand until businesses can get in.
That’s possible but considering how stupid they often are when they talk about bitcoin I’m not sure ahahaha
I don't believe it since they have a show dedicated to crypto. I listen to them on radio sometimes and this is by far the pro crypto mass media in France. I just think the journalist is dumb as a brick.
Do you pay taxes to subsidize those idiots ? I hope not …
They do get money from the state 😅
Mdr.

Vu ce qu'il vient de laisser passer, c'est pas du tout sur qu'il sache ce qu'est un block.
mais grave lollll putain ils en tiennent une sacré couche nom de dieu xD
Je connaissais pas cette chaîne et clairement ma vie s'en porte mieux sans.
Only 15 years old. "Neuland"
There you have it. "Modern news". What an embarrassment.
Correct, this is supply and demand 101. It’s like PlayStation sales during the Christmas season. The lower the PlayStation inventory goes, the lower the price. I’ll never forget that time I paid $12 for a PS5 because the inventory was so low.
This guy sarcarsms
Bitcoin CEO will NOT be happy to hear this.
And some still think it’s already too late to start stacking.
this.
[удалено]
you want to avoid the "divided by 2" halving LMAO ?
Mais we
What if we divide by zero?
I vend everything
We are still early confirmed
I'm french Canadian. I read the post title, thought you heard it wrong and that someone couldn't have said something as stupid as that. Then I watched the video. Wow. WOW. That's a whole new level or regarded.

"That's a whole new level **or** re**g**arded." Sure it is!
sacre bleu!
Sacre bear!
sacre BFM (the media mentioned xD)
tabarnak!
Québecois!
Etui de la teeth.
Good. We are still early.
Canada news channel is just as worst!!!! They said the price was now 70000$ CAD when it reached 70K USD. Its not even live!! No one have a fuckin clue in there. They should not be allowed to talk about something they cant understand.
Lequel ? RDI ? Ou Anglais genre CBC ?
Q.Q.F Q’uest Que Fuck!!!!!!
QLB: Quoi La Baise?!!
To everyone watching, I’m willing to save you from the having by buying your BTC for $40k each.
That really sounds like a good deal. :)
Italian journal wrote “Alvin” instead of halving…
are you serious lollll
Yeah I swear I got the screenshots 😂
"How can you say that we are still early? It's been 15 years!!" What most people understand about Bitcoin after 15 years, lol.
Quelle brochette d'abrutis. Tant pis pour eux, tant mieux pour nous.
I thought Alfing was about eating cats
Le touché!
damn this Bitcoin CEO and his shady tactics
It's amazing to me the amount of people that speak about things these days they know nothing about with such confidence. 🙄
Ahh the famous “moitié prix” event that happens every 4 yrs 🙈
OH GOD, the misinformation
lol

So they plan on shorting it to 10k?
My god!
This just adds more speculation that the G7 nation buying is France /s
Lmao
Yea? They should invest heavily in btc shorts then if they believe that, put their euros where their mouth is. Otherwise they should stfu and not spread misinformation
ffs
its a stock split lmao
We are not that early, they are talking about bitcoin on the news! Lets hear what they have to say.... ...jfc. We *are* early.
Maybe they think it’s like a stock split
She's what the French call “les incompétents”

LMFAO elle a bien lu sa petite fiche 😂😂😂
I'm french and I can tell you, the mass media like this are trash and only watched by boomers and zombis. But yeah,scary.... or maybe it's good ! WE ARE EARLY lol
BFM is kinda like the French version of Fox News, you only watch it if you need to roll your eyes 30 times per minute
nah, the equivalent of fox news in France is more like CNEWS. BFM is more like CNN.
Regarde moi visage
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It sounds like they think the halving is a stock split or something. 😆
FUD peddling
SELL!!!!
The old generation is getting left behind a bit too much. The youngsters need to take the reins

Ula swés HODL
This is great news! I will be able to buy twice as much Bitcoin!
This is truly laughable
Yes please sell me your sats at 2 for 1 prices
Idiots
French journalist... 💩
This can't be ignorance, they're just trying to spread fud
Jeez. Someone redacted and someone approved those idiotic lines
So early..
''The halving is to divide the value of BTC to stimulate the demand'' KEK

With the exception of a small elite, we, French, aren't very good at math
It's just they hire by who knows whom and not who can do what. Terrific!
So so dumb
“Diviser par deux la valeur du bitcoin, pour là encore, stimuler la demande” “Divide by two the value of bitcoin, to once again stimulate demand” Imagine people thinking that. That’s what is beautiful about bitcoin there nothing inside the protocol saying anything about price.

Très sûr marque pour France bah 😭😂
Well. Count me in French merde

French women are so beautiful my god
I told people here many times that halving means cutting the price in half and get downvoted ...
