> after weeks of feeling like a criminal over coffee with my cousin who owns the company that was selling me the condo I was like “can I just fucking give you two bitcoins on a thumbdrive…”

Actually, in many places it would work fine. Some it would be immediate jail time.

In the places it would work fine, so would a traditional transfer, though. Again, Bitcoin hasn't solved any issue here.
