Yup, you are right, there are already quite a good number of countries that accept bitcoins as another option in the long list of payment methods for their people and for the businesses and establishments that run in their countries. I think the op has been fed with the wrong information that led him to having such conclusion and actually believe the fuds. But I think that after reading some of the great responses, the op will realize that he is wrong and that it really pays of to confirm the sources of every information first before even thinking about believing them.
