Dude, don't get hung up on this being a currency. The courts uphold barter agreements all the time.
sure... barter agreements for goods or services with an intrisic value. A sack of apples for a bag of Oranges, etc. Crypto currencies come under the realm of Unicorn horns and pixie farts. A dispute simply cannot be resolved by legal means... a private escrow service agreed by both parties is the only way of going about it.... either that or trust.
