Central Banks and e-money transaction

[emilia79]

Hi everybody,

I wonder how *-coins are seen by central banks/governments:

1) Is it seen as a money, a currency, an annoying mosquito ?

2) what could happen if a country buy and then sell big amounts of coins (maybe seized from a laundry company ;-)     ) ? did it already happen ?

I doubt it happened already but if future I believe it may be the case because seized items are auctioned regularly (if not illegal items, these are destroyed)

Yes, that was one of my points ... it is electronic, and I don't think there is a procedure to officially destroy non-material devices !

I think for a lot of countries, we are in a not legally defined zone... Wait and see !
