BITCOIN & CRYPTOCURRENCIES<br />
IS BITCOIN<br />
MONEY?<br />
Now, you might think that the answer is simple, but smart Judges<br />
in Courts around the world have disagreed. Even many countries<br />
disagree. In some pretty pivotal cases in the US, it has been ruled that<br />
Bitcoin did not meet the standard of money and thus the accused<br />
in those cases walked away scot-free though accused of all sorts of<br />
financial misconduct. Subsequently, several states have had to make<br />
new laws to take cryptocurrencies into account.
