Well that's a non-starter. If I wanted to buy a beer with bitcoin right now, I'd probably end up drinking tap water.

Same deal if you tried to pay for a beer in the US using vietnamese dong.

However if you wanted to purchase "illegal" drugs online you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who will accept your USD.
