Agreed on the headline, but more to the point is that now the EU does not draw a distinction between virtual and traditional currencies. Or this is at least a step in that direction.

I don't like this nomenclature. Can we call them "state-sponsored" and "stateless" instead? Almost all of the world's currency is as virtual as email.

Maybe "bank-issued" currency is more accurate for the more traditional kind?
