It seems to be that countries, on e by one, are being to recognize bitcoin as an economic entity they can no longer just ignore and hope it just "goes away".
This and the previous news that reported Dubai accepting it as a currency is the proof of that.
Soon even more countries will start integrating it into their daily lives and start accepting it as a very efficient alternative for their citizens for everyday use. Like to be able to pay their local electrical bill (like in Australia) and their car insurance (as in some states in America allows).
It seems that many countries are ready to make this step and formally accept Bitcoin and determine its legal status. Although there are those who are not prohibited but is doing everything to turn an alternative currency as small as possible, for example, the same as Spain, not the last country in Europe, and overlaid the activities related to Bitcoin and earnings by using his insane taxes.
