Number 4 – Bitcoin development in Poland
Today many countries are arguing the question of how should the law and its forces react on the bitcoin popularity and use growing in the World. Recently one of the European countries admitted that Bitcoin is at least not illegal.
Polish Ministry of Finance said: ‘We are not blocking Bitcoin development’. Moreover, speaking at a seminar on Bitcoin legality last week in Warsaw, Szymon Wozniak, an official representative of the finance ministry, said: “What is not forbidden is permitted. However, we certainly cannot consider Bitcoin to be a legal currency.”
Polish law does consider profits from digital-currency transactions to be taxable, and taxpayers earning such profits must report them.

Number 2 – Bitcoin is a Movie Star
We have seen a lot of science fiction movies that predicted our future – new technologies like micro chips, FLAT screens, and Internet itself.
The creators of the TV-series “Almost Human” on Fox see future in digital currency, too. The episode aired on the 16th December included not only a humble mention of the bitcoin name, but made the coin a determining element of the storyboard.
