Help I'm an ignorant American... what is an "overlay currency" in the EU??
Overlay manager is a firm that is managing your currency hedging against currency exposures, not only in EU. So, currency overlay is the process or practice of hiring such firms. But I've never heard about overlay currency. Bitcoin as 'overlay currency' sounds like overcoin to me.  Smiley

Quote from: genjix @ IRC
joepie91: there is going to be an EU directive for bitcoin
elaborate?
they're going to classify it as an overlay currency
but EU directives are slow. they can take months or years (especially with finance)
doesn't look like the FSA are going to make any ruling right now, but if they do it's highly speculative what they'll rule bitcoin as (it could be a store of value)
joepie91: feel free to attribute that to us.
