I've just finished to read this article and i think this is huge and can be the exception who will start (or can start) a revolution in Europe.
In the article the key message: "Germany will regard bitcoin as the equivalent to legal tender for tax purposes when used as a means of payment, according to a new document."

What do you think guys?

Already there is a discussion going about this in the legal section so I suggest the OP to lock this thread.
This is great news for the merchants and it will encourage the shops to accept crypto currency as their payment but is it their final announcement? Because it is really a disadvantage to the country's revenue if people change to fully cryotocurrency payment then the government may change it again.

Locking it, sorry guys.
