CRYPTOCURRENCY TIPPING POINT… Countries adopting their own currencies: Auroracoin, GermanyCoin, Spaincoin. The German Federal Ministry of Finance said in 2013 that Bitcoin is not a full- fledged currency but that it is permissible to use it in private transactions. Classification by the German government gave Bitcoin legitimacy to be used as a settlement currency in one of the world’s largest economies. California lower house has unanimously passed a bill declaring Bitcoin and other digital currencies legal tender in the state of California.passed a bill

TEXAS BANKING COMMISSIONER CHARLES G. COOPER OFFERED REGULATORY GUIDANCE LAST TUESDAY Texas banking regulators have established licensing and security rules for cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, and their exchanges. Virtual currencies will not be treated as money, but Texans can use them to buy and sell goods and services free of regulation. Virtual currency, Cooper wrote, “does not entitle its owner to anything, and creates no duties or obligations in a person who gives, sells, or transfers it. There is no entity that must honor the value of a cryptocurrency…The only way to convert a unit of cryptocurrency to sovereign currency is to find a willing buyer. Therefore cryptocurrencies as currently implemented cannot be considered money or monetary value under the [Texas] Money Services Act.”
