Re: Alternatives to Western Union
Yes. That statement from the IRS officially acknowledges bitcoin as a legal asset and recognizes it for tax purposes. That's as official as it gets.
It's explicitely legal in the USA. There's no doubt about it. You guys can split hairs about the term ( endorses, acknowledges, recognizes )... but you can't change the facts.
It's also now explicitely legal in Thailand too. But whether local governments have gotten around to recognizing it yet or not, bitcoin is used everywhere on earth every day.
Oh, and as for some reporter calling bitcoin "a bubble"....
Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one.

I defy you to produce the evidence to support that assertion. It's pure hyperbole, the sort of nonsense we expect from religious converts - which clearly you are.

Hahahaha. Of course we can, Walter Mitty, seeing as you are just making these "facts" up.

There's nothing wrong with having opinions Smiles - provided they are my opinions that everyone is having.
Re: Alternatives to Western Union
Bruce is supposedly an expert IT consultant who's been in the industry for 37 years, but doesn't even know a smartphone is a computer, so wouldn't worry about it too much.
