“From food to toilet paper, and drugs to weapons – everything is available on the Internet and, increasingly, purchases are paid with virtual currencies such as bitcoin. The German Finance Ministry has recently recognized bitcoin as a currency unit and as private money, subjecting holdings of bitcoins to German tax laws.

Online currency conversion sites determine the value of Bitcoins according to supply and demand.”
