Exactly! It can be both! They could even create some type of new label for it if they wish to keep it truly separate, something like "Technological Currency" or "Decentralized Currency" so many ways for them to label it, but I think the important part is that they are sure to be fair with the people on it, otherwise they will see a lot of people just doing rogue and illegal things and not reporting at all and such. They have to consider how easily it can manage to be hidden and not reported too and take into account that too high of taxes and penalties will drive many more people to that dark path.
Great conversation and good to hear some fresh perspectives on things. :) As I've said before, you're on the curation list now, so you can count on some bonus votes on your content. :) I've enjoyed our engagement together! Looking forward to more in the future!
Oh, one last thing, I think this is a great opportunity for governments to take something new and focus on it benefitting the middle/lower classes of the different countries. So many things are focuses on the already wealthy people, so this could be a chance to show that they DO care about the "little" people as well, those who are not insanely wealthy and have anything they could want. It would sure settle a lot of our doubts and fears in life to know that there is an actual serious level of care being put to our lives. :P
