Well yes, but it's cheating.

I want to hear about people's experiences with non-bitcoin currencies to get a sense for what happens in the mind and life when units of account switch.

I feel like there's a kind of caterpillar->->butterfly metamorphosis that happens where that middle stage is a bizarre undefined slurry. It's like you can imagine any currency priced in any other, at **this** moment in time, but there is something confusing about the transition point between those relationships.

An American probably has a very hard time grokking a chart where the USD value is fluctuating against some other "fixed" unit of account (not really fixed because nothing in economic relationships is, but the USD _feels_ fixed when viewing the price charts of everything else. this is my whole point)
