Bitcoins,as a means of an exchange still seems much more cumbersome than $s.

Sure, why not? It won't be until you're dicked over that you'll see the benefit of Bitcoin (I hope you've been reading the news lately, btw, or you might not understand what I mean.)

Anyway, give it some time, and it'll be made easy peasy. Trading gold for bread isn't a simple task, either; difference being, Bitcoin's got a technological and commercial gap it has to cross. Gold is created from an exploding star and has been around for billions of years before the dawn of man, and I still can't send it to Bill in South Africa in a matter of seconds.

Granted,bitcoins and crypto-currencies have promises and possibly promising futures.But today are most of your transactions based upon it being the best available means to transact or for promotional reasons?
