The point is that you cannot force a retailer to accept legal tender or indeed any other form of tender. If, however, you buy something from them and there is no contractual barrier to use of any form of tender, and you offer legal tender in payment, and they refuse it, then they cannot enforce the debt in court.
That's what legal tender means: it's about discharging debts. If you incur a debt you can discharge it with legal tender, but you cannot be enforced to incur the debt in the first place.
Now is clear why they use this stupid term "legal tender" ?
"virtual" means it doesn't exist. Digital is totally other thing than virtual, but seems that those banksters don't know the difference.
If it doesn't exist you can't "regulate" or control.
Bitcoin is not an "asset", is just random numbers used as money.
The term "legal tender" is a total bullshit. People can use anything they want as money, as much that thing can have value for them.
Example here, cavemen economics
So... all this bullshit with x and y bank trying to "regulate" money is a total failure.
People have to wake the fuck up, for Satoshi sake!
What is the point of "legal tender" ?
