A bitcoin<->pog exchange sounds like a business that'd have at least one customer, then...
I've looked at bitcoins, and then figured that I don't really have much use for the things I can buy with them, including phone cards or online poker chips. On one bitcoin thread, I mentioned that using bitcoins for an online game currency wouldn't work for me as a game developer because I actually need to buy food and housing.
Perhaps, though, just perhaps, bitcoins are going through the 3 phases described by Arthur Schopenhauer: 1) ridiclued, 2) violently opposed, 3) accepted as fact.
But personally I have to admit I'd feel more comfortable with 9mm ammunition or bags of rice as a reliable currency.
