This article is relevant if you are a startup company in the emerging Bitcoin industry.
Background
Worldwide, the Bitcoin industry is growing rapidly. In some respects, it reminds many of the the early days of the World Wide Web. All kinds of startup companies see the value of the Bitcoin protocol and are seeking to build on the emerging crypto-currency phenomenon.
Most North American based startup companies grab a copy of Quickbooks to run basic accounting. Yet, Bitcoin represents a new asset class demanding special accounting considerations. Treating Bitcoin as a foreign currency through tried-and-true accounting practices solves many of the challenges I hear entrepreneur face when working with Bitcoin — either by accepting it for payment or by paying typical bills or people for their work.
The challenge though is that Quickbooks, and most low cost accounting systems, are not designed to handle foreign currency.
