    Judge Shoots Down ‘Bitcoin Isn’t Money’ Argument in Silk Road Case.

    So, if 'Bitcoin is Money', what implications does this have for the IRS to start collecting taxes on Bitcoin?

    I recall a preliminary statement from some US financial agency that it's capital. So there wouldn't taxes so much as capital gains and losses. Maybe it'd be like receiving some of your compensation as stock. Capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than income. Also, you'd pay nothing until you converted them into money. But what about buying stuff with them?

    It's confusing.

    US court shuts down fake Bitcoin-mining operation

    FTC alleges that Butterfly Labs, a Missouri company, ‘deceptively marketed’ computers designed to produce bitcoins

    A US court has shut down Butterfly Labs, a Missouri company the Federal Trade Commission alleges deceptively marketed computers designed to produce bitcoins, the “virtual currency” payment system.

    The FTC’s complaint against Butterfly and its corporate officers alleges that the company charged consumers thousands of dollars for its bitcoin computers, called BitForce, but then failed to provide the computers until they were almost obsolete, or in many cases did not provide the computers at all.
