http://www.coinbuzz.com/2014/08/30/bitcoin-become-legal-tender-australia-popularity-increases/Countries around the world seem to each have their own idea of how they plan to classify digital currencies such as Bitcoin – should it be considered a form of currency or personal property? Or perhaps is should be outright banned as is the case in Ecuador and potentially Russia.
Few federal governments seem even remotely close to classifying bitcoin as a legitimate legal currency, however there are those who are positioning themselves to remain open to the possibility of it happening in the future.
