Do you mean a good idea relative to giving away stuff for free, or relative to dollars/euros?
The first question is really, "Why should we use money?" I'm not going to get into that in any depth here, but the short answer is that money allows you to collaborate with people you don't trust, or even know, in efficiently using scarce resources.
As for the second question, they're currently easier to transfer over the internet than dollars or euros, less prone to fraud, and more anonymous.
