Miners, speculators, consumers, merchants and exchanges make up the bitcoin eco-system.
Germany has declared bitcoin private currency, a US federal judge has ruled it as real money. World’s first ATM (bitcoiniacs) opened in Vancouver, letting users access online BTC accounts to exchange bitcoins for cash, or transfer it through smartphone to buy stuff online.

A bitcoin conference was also organized in Bengaluru where investors/enthusiasts/bankers gathered to convince the government and regulator that the bitcoin ecosystem would be valuable economic innovation for unbanked India and remittances.
