New York Judge Classifies Bitcoin As Money

Tue Sep 20, 2016 2:00 pm

On September 19 U.S. Federal Judge Alison Nathan in Manhattan declared Bitcoin is money. The judgment follows the recent Florida ruling in which the Judge decided the opposite — that Bitcoin is not money. The decisions in both states show U.S. officials don’t see eye to eye on classifiying cryptocurrency.

Best advice is to hire a tax attorney for any questions you may have for your situation, it will be some of the best money you have spent.
