Yes, if I can go out and do an hour of plumbing for 2 BTC and then by a pair of work boots shipped to my door for that 2 BTC without exposing my banking and personal id info, I’m fine.

"The price of bitcoins, snippets of digital code that can be used as money, has fluctuated wildly since the currency started trading in 2009. The price has swung from more $1,200 to less than $600, then back to around $800 in just the past two months. The most recent plunge followed news that Chinese regulators had decided to prohibit the country’s banks from dealing in bitcoin. But the Kings and other merchants that transact in bitcoins use intermediaries to rapidly convert the currency back into dollars and avoid risks from the price swings."

Excerpted from an article just now appearing on Yahoo Finance. Sounds promising if you immediately convert to US$. Wait...hmmmm.
