June 24, 2013 ·

So if you're actively following news about Bitcoin you might have already heard that the Bitcoin Foundation, an independent member organisation promoting Bitcoin standards, has received a Cease and Desist letter from the State of California for unlawful conduct of money transmission business. It's important to note that this does not necessarily indicate wrong doing and would at face value seem to validate the argument that Bitcoin is considered at the government level, to be money which is a great vote of confidence for those utilising Bitcoin for business and digital transactions.
