Yeah I call BUll shit tooo, if you have that kind of money your not going to mess with bitcoins to send it, makes no damn sense.  I still stand with the issue that what do you really need bitcoin for except for silk road, and maybe if you want to be anonymous.  Sending money for fees, ok maybe you can save some cash but not really because bitcoins are not worth the same daily so its a pretty big risk to save a couple bucks.  Bank to bank transfers, even paypal isnt that bad for most transactions.  There are many low price money transfer options that you wouldnt need to use bitcoin for that.  Really I only see it as being kind of cool, nerdy, fun in the beginning but pretty pointless unless it becomes stable and real companies start accepting it, then possibly it would make sense.  But I just dont see it recovering to become main stream at this point.

Oh and to answer the question, sending cash through the mail, pretty damn cheap and safe, with tracking.  Cash for gold, cash for old phones, people do it all the time, even a moneygram or similar you can send what you want anonomyous, you dont have to use real information, thats what I mean by cash can be pretty anonomous as well, or however u spell that damn word lol.
