That's actually one of the biggest use-cases.

Yeah, it's the one that I'd personally want to use BTC for. I still might use it instead of a wire transfer, and in this case, I can see some use for futures as a hedging device, because even staying in bitcoin for one day or one hour seems like unnecessary risk when you're trying to get work done, and not make bets. This again ups the costs in terms of money and time, leading me to prefer, when possible, services like TransferWise.
