I disagree, bitcoin can certainly be regulated. You just watch.
As far as OP goes, when I sell something on Ebay I have immediate access to my money. So that must vary among countries, and I'm sure if a bank or whatever decided to start using bitcoin as a currency, its use could be regulated just like this. At least that's how I imagine it--and I'm not an economist or politician, so take my opinion for exactly how much you paid for it.
It would be like USA Alcohol Prohibition, Bitcoin would be larger underground and more of a problem than if it were to be left alone.
