The Price of Bitcoin Is About to Get a Little Government Help

http://www.nasdaq.com/article/the-price-of-bitcoin-is-about-to-get-a-little-government-help-cm461318

The price of Bitcoin stands to get a boost this year from an unlikely source - state and local governments.

At least two states, New Hampshire and Utah, have bills under consideration that would make it possible for citizens to pay taxes and fees in Bitcoin. New York City has proposed similar legislation.

The reason? At least a few elected officials recognize the potential of Bitcoin to help government and citizens alike.

Some countries just don't know what to do beside banning it, and others are just not interested.

I find it very interesting to see how far they can stretch this slow "Bitcoin adoption" by the government.

I'm only not sure how much impact this news will have on the price, if any. But it is good news indeed.
