This simply means that Germany is ready to tax your bitcoins. I think you can expect the same treatment from other countries.

Again, this is true, however, I believe the same happens in the UK if you withdraw more then a certain amount! You can't just suddenly withdraw hundreds of thousands from mtgox for example and direct transfer to your bank without serious questioning and or heavy taxes.

I really appreciate the your insight however!

True, but you also can't help to see some government ploy "to get in on this Bitcoin scheme and scoop some money"; while at the same time they are skeptical of it becoming a valid means of pay...
