Cheap, but not free. You're paying a premium. Which illustrates the article's point.

As exchanges are reined in, and off-the-record bitcoin for cash trades are cracked down on (google "localbitcoin arrests" to get an idea - that should also answer your two other lines), this premium will grow, and it may well grow enough to make the whole thing impractical.

so if trading USD into other currencies isn't free then USD isn't fungible? I'm not following your point
