Hi Forum,
a German language article on bitcoin appeared at this month's Datenschutz und Datensicherheit. The electronic full text is available here:
http://www.ismll.uni-hildesheim.de/personen/krohn-grimberghe.htmlAmong others, the article contains a discussion of the classification of Bitcoin as a unit of account (Rechnungseinheit) and consequently as a financial instrument (Finanzinstrument) in Germany.
Comments and feedback highly appreciated.
With best regards
