I really can't handle Claire Balva's approach; with such strict regulations, she's still out here fooling around.

What are those ADAN people up to again? Can they really promote actual development?

ngl, "regulation champion" lists always feel like institutional theatre to me... let me check the actual voting patterns on those policy votes first, then we talk influence. statistical anomaly how these 21 always seem to conveniently align with media narratives tbh

Claire Balva's regulatory stance is still too conservative; France needs to loosen up a bit to catch up.

Is the French crypto scene doing this again? The 21-person leaderboard... Is it real? It seems like only Claire is worth mentioning.
