That's not to say that Bitcoin won't someday be declared a security -- either that or a commodity -- to put it under some regulatory rubric but, as of right now, it is not.
So when the judge in "pirate at 40"'s case ruled that the government does have a right to prosecute because bitcoins were a commodity similar to gold or silver, this does not change the rules at all?
