When you think about it, you realize: USD is also virtual currency. Cash is on the way out. You will not be able to spend your USD offline.

I mean by that definition anything past barter economies are virtual, so sure if that's your definition then your statement stands. It's completely incorrect by any meaningful definition of virtual though.

Are you actually taking issue with the fundamentals of my argument or just annoyed by my equating USD to a virtual currency?
