Is Bitcoin a currency or a commodity ?

[tontonyaw]

I live in France and I'm thinking of running a business around Bitcoins. The thing is there are regulatory constraints that have true impact on the way the business should be oriented. If Bitcoin is considered as a currency, then I would have to look towards banks. If it is considered as a commodity, then everything is possible... Thanks for your input.

i did some research on this question, and i think legaly BTC must be seen as a currency
but that's only my idea/understanding
you should consult a fiscal or accounting specialist
