Bitcoin is perfect as assetclass and it does nothing bad. It only confirms regulators accepting it then more businesses will get involved because now it's clear how to do taxes.

If you have to pay tax on BTC earnings and you are mining BTC can you therefore claim the expense as a tax deduction?

It's in every country different. But profit from trading in most should be treated like trading in commodities.
Mining is more like an industry so your equipments are machines/inventory.

Yes, generally speaking, all expenses related to earning the income are deductible.

Legitimate business already comply with existing rules and regulation.

Making btc comply with the law is not really that difficult. I don't see how this will end btc usage in Australia.

Maybe this new development will actually increase usage in AUS. Especially if everyone is compliant and legal and all that.

Bitcoin is however you use it. It can be just another way to store value, like metals, or it can be used as actual currency. The more merchants, the more usage as currency it will have tho. Bitcoin is uncorruptible and no goverment can tell "what it is" or how you use it.
