Bitcoin is super-efficient, though. If we all used Bitcoin, I could cross any border I want without ever having to use an ATM or talk to an exchange agent. The same effect will be a blessing for international business; currency fluctuations become a non-issue.
It's also vastly cheaper, the fastest means if sending money I've ever used. I'm a very impatient man, so that's really the sticking point. There are arguments we could make against that, but most of them are solvable by modifications to the blockchain and protocol.
I probably don't want to go through that again, though--you're right. But I'm so very disinterested in learning about cheques and stuff.
