That leaves me really at unease. The Federal Reserve has plenty of its own problems, but it has a history of providing US currency stability.

I doubt an individual foregoing usage of this coin will make much difference in its adoption. Maybe the stability of the US Dollar will still reign superior to this? Paper dollars have their own transaction costs, but come with a lot of nice "enterprise" features I'd like to see in a currency.
