Its not nonsense so much as system borders.

Look at the border between the Argentine financial system and ours. I suspect you want to be very careful right now... Or the Ukraine, where a shooting civil war has broken out today, I imagine forex market is going to get weird. Or the euro PIIGS recently or right now. Or Zimbabwe for the last decade or so. Or Germany in the 20s.

Anytime you cross financial system borders, especially if you don't understand them or even understand that there is a border, things can get a bit dicey.

I guess what I'm getting at is you're describing an emergent property of cross financial system transactions, nothing to do with BTC at all other being one particular example of a cross system border.
