updates
Notice 2014-21 because it stated that digital currencies were not legal
tender; however, since then foreign jurisdictions have enacted laws that
characterize Bitcoin as legal tender. Thus, the sentence in the Background
section of Notice 2014-21 stating that virtual currency does not have legal
tender status in any jurisdiction is no longer accurate as to Bitcoin.
