Its illegal to use a substitute for USD dollars. A substitute for USD is exchanged directly for USD as you describe in the footnote. See the Liberty Dollar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar) for an example. Bitcoins, like cigars or real estate, fluctuate in value relative to USD.

Not for being a currency that competes with the dollar.
