<nettime> Vipul Kharbanda's Bitcoin round-up (for CIS-India)

(In this paper, Vipul Kharbanda analyses the laws and regulations that
apply to Bitcoin in India, and comes to the conclusion that the government
has wide powers that it can exercise, if it wishes, to regulate Bitcoin.)

Even though it's written with India's legal regime in focus, this article
appears to give an excellent overview of the nature of BTC as a financial
instrument (of sorts). Kind of legal primer on BTC thus, blank India out
if you wish, yet in a globalised world and unified world-wide financial
regimes and regulatory policies, it doesn't make very much difference.
