The benefits would have to outweigh the fact that switching to a new system with limited capability is extremely annoying. The two benefits I can see are a) a global currency for those "in the know" -- cutting out exchange rates and messy stuff like that (and maybe making ID theft harder), and b) security. So the way I see it you'd have to focus on having an insanely secure network for this to work. Not sure I'm seeing just a whole lot of use for this at the moment, but as a way to push BTC mainstream I like it.

I hate that I can't use my credit card to directly buy BTC. If this functionality was allowed through whatever loophole, I would have bought some last year and made bank already.

Me too. I would have cautiously bought about $50 worth and made a small amount of money.

The BTC high is at $748. I can remember when BTC was at $30. If I bought 2 BTC back then, I would be buying myself a new computer. Hindsight is 20/20.
