National Bank of Israel officially announced that the Bitcoin is not currency but asset. I think that most countries will follow the example. what do you think?
Yes.. I think most countries call it that way.
governments and central banks in various countries say that bitcoin is more accurately called investment assets in digital form. Governments always say, bitcoin is not currency, and will not be able to replace the convensial money.
However, I am sure we all agree that, bitcoin is an asset and a currency. because bitcoin can be made as a means of exchange in the payment system.
I think that the most important thing about a classification of bitcoin by a government is that it leads to the way how bitcoin will be taxed by that nation.
Assets and currencies are often taxed in different ways.
When I look at the definition of currency as a medium of exchange, I believe that most countries will define bitcoin as an asset in the future.
