Does this make it subject to sales tax? The whores in Sacramento need money.

[Errant]

That would come under state taxing authorities. For instance, private sales in our state aren't taxed. However if you were to buy Btc from a local dealer, that might mean your have to pay sales tax in my state.

It's complicated, as there are exceptions in our state law for things that qualify for "investment purposes" like gold, silver, coins, and etc.

At least we and the states have some guidance to work from now, and we no longer have to fear a raid by treasury agents for having illegal currency, since they've ruled that it isn't (currency). :-)
