Bitcoin isn't stable enough to be a currency..Bitcoin is just a prototype, once a better coin comes out or maybe it's out already? will replace Bitcoin and render it useless. Now that new coin will be a currency.

good luck new coin  Grin

I mean according to the IRS.

Well then the laws would probably be the same as for what we currently have for fiat taxation.

As opposed to being considered property?  Well, if Bitcoin were a currency under US law, it'd be comparable to the Euro.  Paying employees in foreign currencies, such as the Euro, within the United States carries different taxation rules than property, so the taxes (in general) would be higher than it is for property.
