If you find the draw of Bitcoin hard to understand and are of the engineer bent, try this on: Bitcoin refactors money to be a service shared among all countries. Your money is no longer coupled to your nationality.
Getting banked is the biggest logistical difficulty, but for sums under ~5K, not necessary. For sums over that, you probably need that *regardless* of exchange mechanism.

Can you tell me how? A colleague and I both tried. I was able to open an account in Australia, with difficulty, and a small fib. He was able to open one in Argentina (I think?), but that didn't meet my needs. I tried opening an account in the UK but failed.
