If it's ever used in court, it'll be construed as a hacker or terrorist tool by some barely literate computer forensic "expert".

Unfortunately you give the system too little credit. In Aug 2013 a Federal judge recognized bitcoin as akin to a currency (stores value, can be used for exchange of goods). It also opened the doors to allow SEC to pursue these cases[0].

Granted it was for a ponzi scheme.
