Actually they just recongnize BTC as private money, not yet to legal tender status. But still a big step in the right direction.
The US of course will react the opposite way. Anything that threatens the Zionist Federal Reserve will be exterminated to the fullest extent of the "law" ( which does not represent the will of the people, contrary to belief)

Wow x 2. Quite a stark contrast to the US stance to date.
Indeed, big thumbs up to Mr. Schaeffler ! Go Germany ! Quote
"We should have competition in the production of money. I have long been a proponent of Friedrich August von Hayek scheme to denationalize money. Bitcoins are a first step in this direction,"said Frank Schaeffler, a member of the German parliament's Finance Committee, who has pushed for legal classification of bitcoins.
Quote
"Sooner or later, depending on the success of private currencies, authorities will feel the urge to ban or regulate private currency. A free country should resist and not intervene in citizen's private choice of money. In my opinion the production of money is none of the government's business," Schaeffler said.
