Note:  Not sure if this article got much attention?

Virtual currency bitcoin has been recognized by the German Finance Ministry as a "unit of account", meaning it is can be used for tax and trading purposes in the country.

Bitcoin is not classified as e-money or a foreign currency, the Finance Ministry said in a statement, but is rather a financial instrument under German banking rules. It is more akin to "private money" that can be used in "multilateral clearing circles", the Ministry said.

Thanks.  I thought it was significant being that CNBC is basically establishment.

Even CNBC can't misreport stuff like this. They probably reported it through gritted teeth though.
