There's no need to be snarky, I know perfectly well that exchanges exist which isn't contrary to what I wrote in any way. I said:

> every type of payment is dependent on a “casino”, they just vary in size

So yes, in general terms it's easier to pay with USD than BTC because the “casino” is larger. That's exactly what I wrote. The point is that you cannot carry only USD and expect to be able to pay with it anywhere in the world, just as you cannot carry BTC or silver bars anywhere and expect to be able to pay with them. “The world” is most definitely not your casino with cash USD, EUR or any other major currency if you are not in an area of the world where they are commonly accepted.
