Not only banks but even government are facing crisis when they are describing bitcoins. They are arguing if bitcoin is a currency or a commodity/property. That is only on the level of definition but how about on the whole currency and its technology that would be more complicated. But I am happy that the central bank of the Philippines has acknowledge bitcoin as a payment system.

"Yes, I think it is money in the future to allow people to make payments quickly without limit ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It would be in our best interest if it werent defined as money. There are a lot of laws that they can throw at you and claim that you broke if its defined as money. How can you define it as real money if it is only a numbers in a computer screen and not manufactured and distributed by a governments Minting Corp.?

Jiangzhuo'er, presented, 3 questions to the authority. Dilemma1: is bitcoin money or not?
we keep saying bitcoin is money (and it really is) but in reality bitcoin is used mostly as a commodity and if I am not mistaken in US bitcoin is considered a commodity when it comes to the law. and there is not much dilemma here. Dilemma 2: how to deal with bitcoin exchanges?
this one is not at all a dilemma! a bitcoin exchange like a forex exchange, a stock exchange, or simply it is like any other business and dealing with it is the same as dealing with any other business that deals with fiat. I really don't see how can this be any problem. Dilemma 3: how to control bitcoin price via exchanges?
this one is a challenge, it can be done but it is getting harder as bitcoin popularity grows and the number of exchanges all over the world increases. I believe the question in this one is "why would they want to do that?" "what would be the befit of it?" or "what is the motivation of controlling the price?!" government is concerned with legal/illegal things people do with bitcoin and fiat since they are connected through an exchange. such as money laundering and other illegal activities. and whether bitcoin price is $1000 or $0.01 all these things can be done. so there is no point in controlling the price.

I understand the difference between "money" and "fiats" through bitcoin.

Probably you should check out the original post: http://news.8btc.com/central-bank-face-3-dilemmas-when-dealing-with-bitcoin that is what I never understand. everything else is regulated, Forex,.... markets are regulated and under the control and observation of government. and also Over-the-counter trades are always concerns in any market. so why is it always a big deal and something that becomes much bigger than it really is when it comes to regulations on bitcoin exchanges!

Control of exchanges can be successful that is even until we have discentralised exchange. Ones we have discentralised exchanges and the trust level in the them increase with time, central banks know they are only chasing shadows.

Dilemma 1: Bitcoin is not a currency only but a commodity so I will say it's a currency and commodity at the same time. Dilemma 2: you deal with Bitcoin exchanges by opening your own exchange to counter the status quo. Dilemma 3: you don't control Bitcoin prices through exchanges if you don't have an exchange

I have just read about this guy Jiang Zhuo'er. From What I could find, he is the owner of mining farms in China and apperently against the activation of segwit. Am I the only one who finds it strange that he asks the authoity how bitoin price can be controled via exchanges?

Jiangzhuo'er, presented, 3 questions to the authority.
Hello Red Li, who is Jiangzhuo'er? Dilemma1: is bitcoin money or not?
It is a store of value and a medium of exchange, but not a legal tender as it is not issued by any authority. So, it can be used as 'money', but not a 'currency'. Dilemma 2: how to deal with bitcoin exchanges?
Only FIAT part can be dealt with and be regulated. Enforcing KYC is the best option from Government's point of view. Dilemma 3: how to control bitcoin price via exchanges?
Bitcoin's price is NOT determined in one country's exchanges. So, no government will be able to control bitcoin price.

In my opinion, the notion that PBoC can control bitcoin could very well be FUD. I'm sure that the demand for bitcoin in China has to do with bitcoin's "hard to tame" nature. Suggesting that PBoC could manipulate bitcoin could very well be part of an effort to manipulate bitcoin's price itself.

Dilemma1: is bitcoin money or not?
To be honest Bitcoin is not actually a currency because it doesnt have any rules or regulation to control it Its neither private nor govermental property, secondly it is just a digital value exchange medium and many websites and articles had published that it is a digital assetand have particular value.

Bitcoin is not a money but it is just a value exchange medium as requester had mentioned it right. Secondly to deal with exchange with various exchange websites for UNO should announce new rules and law for bitcoin and other such currency because each country will have different views and it would make unfit for the whole world so UNO will o the task better and standard. Third: its not that possible to control the price of bitcoin because with low supply and increasingly heavy demand its not possible to keep something at stable stage.
