A crook ran off with the money.

Currencies aren't commodities. Furthermore, this isn't just "any currency."
After the economic collapse, we'll see who can buy bread. Me (with programmable BTC) or you, with fake dollars.

Then I'll pay someone for electricity, or try and establish it myself. What are you trying to suggest?

Keep your funny money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox Quote:
It announced that around 850,000 bitcoins belonging to customers and the company were missing and likely stolen, an amount valued at more than $450 million at the time
Poof. All gone

I don't understand your point. I still enjoy sending money peer-to-peer as opposed to through a third part institution.

How would you pay someone if your money is in BTC?

Bitcoin itself is of course a party institution. But that doesn't mean it operates like a third party institution.
Uhm, but how is BTC in practice a third party? You use your computer to process the transaction (as opposed to a bank's or government's computer), and you send your money directly to the recipient.

BItcoins are only used as a means to transfer other currencies, dollars, yen, etc. Therefore they are a third party

Party of the first part Seller Party of the second part Buyer Party of the third part Bitcoin
The only transaction that avoids a third party would be a direct barter.

The best currency a person can have in any situation that leave the dollar totally worthless will be your labor . 5 strong young boys who like to work hard will be the most valuable thing you could possibly have .
