Sounds like how I can't chargeback dollar bills I use for a money order.

I don't imagine it will ever get to the point where people perform financial transactions with bitcoin using raw addresses. They will probably always use third party services like coinbase, which has a fractional commission, for the security, both in having a remote wallet (ie, bank) and providing chargebacks.

Right. That's one reason I'd never make a purchase from a site that requires a money order.

But the converse is also true, which is why I'd never sell anything to someone who wants to pay by paypal.
