Government never gets things right.....especially on the first go around!  Glad to see they are taking another look at it.

Bitcoin IS a currency.

It will, and it's confusing.
Money (income) vs. property (capital gains)
Accounting is a hassle either way...

In my country, long-term capital gains tax is much lower than income tax. So right now, it is a win-win situation. Right?
