Using Bitcoin is like paying for goods with shares of company stock... stock that can be broken down into almost arbitrarily small subunits... and which are immune to SEC regulation.

There's nothing wrong with the bitcoin economy - it's just very different than anything that's ever existed before. If it were just like fiat money, there'd be little use for it and no economy to speak of.
