The ONLY reason Bitcoin has any value at all is because it can be transferred into currencies. That's it. Why? Because Few/no companies will accept payment in Bitcoins.
Want a new monitor, sure the seller will take Bitcoins. But they need to transfer them into local currency to pay their supplier. Or the supplier needs to transfer to currency to pay the manufacturer, etc.
Once the banks/govt's start restricting the conversion of Bitcoins to currency the value will go close to $0.
Use bitcoins to buy Amazon gift cards. It's easy.
Payment processors such as Bitpay absorb the risk of the fluctuating exchange rate and instantly exchange into the local currency of the retailer. Multiple countries have already embraced Bitcoin and released positive statements regarding its use. Did you miss the US Senate hearings on digital currencies? Overwhelmingly positive.
You guys are seriously behind the times. Time to research cryptocurrencies because they're going to be like the email of money.
