Title: Bitcoin: Eine erste Einordnung (German article on Bitcoin as a financial instrum Post by: txcoin on June 27, 2012, 12:12:49 PM Hi Forum,
a German language article on bitcoin appeared at this month's Datenschutz und Datensicherheit. The electronic full text is available here: http://www.ismll.uni-hildesheim.de/personen/krohn-grimberghe.html Among others, the article contains a discussion of the classification of Bitcoin as a unit of account (Rechnungseinheit) and consequently as a financial instrument (Finanzinstrument) in Germany. Comments and feedback highly appreciated. With best regards txcoin Title: Re: Bitcoin: Eine erste Einordnung (German article on Bitcoin as a financial instrum Post by: Ente on July 04, 2012, 09:23:32 AM I like it!
Covers everything, is written on a high niveau and well formulated, still compact for the lot of information, and with a clear result. The only two minor things that came to my mind are: - Use "Bitcoin" and not "Bitcoins". You pay your bread with "Euro", not "Euros", too ;-) - The only reference I was missing would be on page 4, "Chum" (of what I never heard of) This could very well serve as a starter of journalists, who wish to write an article. Well done! Ente Title: Re: Bitcoin: Eine erste Einordnung (German article on Bitcoin as a financial instrum Post by: bitcats on July 04, 2012, 09:30:08 AM see here: http://www.chaum.com/
Title: Re: Bitcoin: Eine erste Einordnung (German article on Bitcoin as a financial instrum Post by: txcoin on July 10, 2012, 09:19:37 AM Agreed, the "Bitcoins" could be changed to "Bitcoin". We will keep that in mind for the next revision.
Thank you!

I am somewhat convinced bitcoin are uncountable and shall always be written in singular? Just like other currencies as well.. /topic derail Ente Title: Re: Bitcoin: Eine erste Einordnung (German article on Bitcoin as a financial instrum Post by: hazek on July 10, 2012, 10:43:55 AM We say 10 dollars, not 10 dollar, so I don't know what you mean..
