Just had a personal experience at the bank that I hope BItcoin can help to avoid in the future.

I went to the bank earlier to get cashier checks to send off with my taxes this week. After the teller withdrew the total amount from my account (~$14k), her computer froze during the check printing process leaving my funds in limbo.

Fortunately the supervisor was able to fix it after a half hour wait, but it was terrifying enough to see why Bitcoin and having control over my own money is so important.

I really hope we get to a future where simple transactions like this are in the hands of the people who own the funds and not a third-party. Even better, if I could just pay my taxes with BTC :)
