In a money laundering court case in South Florida a judge has ruled that bitcoin is not cash because it is not backed by a government or bank. I can't help but think that this ruling will have repercussions for online gambling with bitcoin in Florida. Since bitcoin is officially not a currency in Florida now, doesn't it mean that you can legally gamble with crypto?

The government is appealing this ruling. Unless bitcoin is classified as money it will be a legal nightmare for them in upcoming cases where illegal good and services were being sold for btc.
