Maybe after that, bounty hunters will no longer demand to undergo a KYC check.
It's different from what you are thinking. It's about the recognition of bitcoin and other altcoins as currency not about the recognition of bounty hunting.
is it really?
I am really not familiar with these things but from what I have read it seems like something IRS would be interested in most of all and it has nothing to do with "recognition as currency" but rather seeing the large amount of money that went in and out of cryptocurrency market in 2017 and the government wanting his share of the "taxes".
