for that to happen, bitcoin has to be legally recognized as money, not just digital gold, or digital real estate.

According to the DOJ, it's already recognized as money

Congress and/or treasury dept would have to make that determination to waive the cgt.

Don't know why there has to be some push to 'legally' recognize any means of exchange. That's all Bitcoin is! If two people decide to do business with Bitcoin as the payment method, our Constitution will be protecting both sides to the contract signed.. Signed contracts make us happy, as in our pursuit of happiness!!! You could sign the contract using rocks, and it would be legal, with Constitutional protection.
