It hasn’t proved useful for everyday transactions, or much else really, besides being the subject of a new tulip mania.
I find it annoying when people say things like that. It still has censorship-resistance properties which is very useful for, for example, donating to WikiLeaks or Canadian truck men.
Canada is a Western country and WikiLeaks targets Western governments so it's of interest to people in the West.
You could have done a P2P trade, maybe.
Some might say that states lack the enforcement power to prevent anything if enough people want to do it. See chapter 1 of Anti-tech Revolution: Why and How (attached).
