Actually the bigger news would be if you could pay taxes in Bitcoin. If that happens a currency has arrived.

  You can't pay US taxes in GBP. GBP is a currency.

    You can pay GB taxes in GBP though. Why must you assume taxes = US taxes?

      The point is that wherever you happen to live you can't use most currencies to pay your taxes. If I live in France, Dollars, Bitcoins, and Pounds are all the same in this respect.

  That won't happen. Governments routinely force their citizens to use a currency under state control. One of the ways they do this is by insisting that taxes are paid in the national currency.
