Well, it has worked just fine for me, for the last three years. The Mt Gox bubble was a pain, I admit. But what matters for me is having an anonymous payment system with wide acceptance.

So failure (not anonymous, not wide acceptance) is "worked just fine"?

Well, it's anonymous enough after mixing 2-3 times through Tor, using different mixing services, in small amounts, among Electrum wallets, each in its own Whonix instance. And I can anonymously lease servers, VPS and VPNs. So yes, it works just fine :)
