You mean with specific regularizations.
As far as I know Bitcoin never was illegal in Australia.
Or I'm wrong?

legal tender, as in you can settle debts with it, like you would with AUD.

legal tender, as in you can settle debts with it, like you would with AUD. Although this is the definition of legal tender, I would somewhat doubt that this would happen because of the fact that so many people (a smaller percentage every day) do not know what bitcoin is and a larger percentage (most people) do not know how to properly secure their bitcoin.

It is. Bitcoin and crypto in general is gaining more attention that your average trader would know. A lot going on unnoticed.

That's not a reason for it not to happen. This is the classic one: bitcoin can't be used until there is adoption; why adopt something that nobody uses? It has to start somewhere. Since when do people know how to secure their money (be it a CC or cash)?

I reckon its to do with tax. ATO has come out with some guidelines already. If its more legit, then the gov can get their cut.

Australia government is more progressive than China and US then. If they know the tide of virtual currency can't be stop, they might as well embrace it and get some benefit from it.

As much as I feel this is a great thing for bitcoin I can't help but feel that the Australian Government may be doing this to try and make it so they can begin taxing it to make money off it. I really hope I am wrong though.

Its the same with cash. Gov attitude is carrot and stick. Here is your BAS, go and fill it out correctly. If you don't and get caught...

That would be great. Governments shouldn't impose any currency, every citizen should be free to use any currency as he likes.

Sounds like it might be heading in the right direction, one day.... If I had the option of paying for a train ticket with $ or BTC I would choose $$... I get it though.. BTC could be massive (for everyone else heh) if it goes ahead at some point... Things people only ever dreamed might come true. The next <3 years could be a wild ride. *edit* Thinking about it.... Australia will do something to screw it up.. or make it retarded...

I hope not. Bitcoin being legal tender would accelerate the demise of national fiat currencies. Either government doesn't notice it, doesn't perceive it as threat, or they will inject barbarian regulations to control and tax every Satoshi spend. You can't be paranoid enough when it comes to governments... ya.ya.yo!
