To me it seems like if bitcoin is not a currency, and if it's not security (investment contract), then is bitcoin then a commodity?
A lawyer argues here: http://www.ferner-alsdorf.de/2011/06/bitcoins-wahrung-oder-ware/wettbewerbsrecht/strafrecht/rechtsanwalt/verkehrsrecht/ that Bitcoin is a commodity according to German law.
