When the IRS wants it, it can get you very easily.
Without Federal Laws to govern Bitcoin business, Bitcoin is a tex-heaven.

The price of Bitcoins rose to $140 on Tuesday, the highest level the virtual
currency has reached since May 1:

In the first four months of 2013, Bitcoin saw a massive rally, rising from $
13 at the start of the year to $266 on April 10. The price then crashed to $
50 later in April, rose to $170, and fell below $65 in July.
But in the last three months, the price of Bitcoins has risen steadily. It
hit $140 earlier today.
The currency's value has risen despite a spate of negative headlines.
Earlier this month the feds arrested the alleged mastermind of the Bitcoin-
based narcotics marketplace Silk Road. In July, federal regulators shuttered
an alleged Bitcoin Ponzi scheme. And the leading Bitcoin-based exchange,
the Japan-based Mt. Gox, has had a series of problems, including a U.S.
government crackdown and an acrimonious legal dispute with a former business
partner.
But at the same time, entrepreneurs have been quietly building new
businesses on top of the virtual currency. Few if any of those businesses
have produced big profits yet. But the fact that so many entrepreneurs and
investors are pouring resources into the system — despite its highly
publicized problems — suggests a high degree of confidence that those
problems will be worked out in the long run, and Bitcoin will become an
important part of the world economy.
The most positive development for Bitcoin in recent months is what hasn't
happened: the federal government hasn't tried to shut the system down. One
of the biggest threats to Bitcoin's long-term success has always been that
the government would decide that Bitcoin is a giant money-laundering machine
. Instead, federal officials have done just the opposite. When they have
taken action against specific Bitcoin-based businesses, they've repeatedly
emphasized that they have no quarrel with the underlying Bitcoin technology.
Indeed, in a recent conversation with The Washington Post, the Bitcoin
Foundation's Patrick Murck argued that the shutdown of Silk Road was a
positive sign for Bitcoin, because it helps remove the stigma associated
with Silk Road's illicit activities. That, he argued, will allow the Bitcoin
community to focus on lawful applications of the disruptive payment
technology. While Bitcoin's killer app hasn't yet emerged, the market is
still optimistic that it will.

The killer app is already there, as stated by AlanX.
I went on a long vacation to Norway this summer. I hardly used credit cards
and did not exchange USD to local currency. I posted an ad to sell bitcoins
on localbitcoins.com and within a few days I was meeting people in cafés,
handing me envelopes of local currency for my bitcoins.
Instead of paying credit card foreign transaction fees and currency exchange
rate overhead, I was making a profit every time I bought local currency.
You could travel the world with your money stored in the blockchain, never
to worry about being robbed, losing your cash, cards or trouble with customs.

There's no "killer app". Whats needed is better, faster and more secure ways
to purchase and sell the currency. And businesses need to start accepting
it for E-commerce transactions.

The other killer app is for merchants who use bitcoin instead of bank cards
for a sale. They can save an average of 5% of the sale price in avoided card
fraud, chargebacks, and bank fees. For a retail merchant, 5% is huge, that
might be their profit margin on a regular sale. Doubling their profit is a
heck of an incentive.
That's why merchant processors like BitPay have grown tenfold, from 1000 to
10,000 merchants in the past year. BitPay converts your bitcoin sales to
local currency and deposits it daily to your bank account, so they remove
currency rate risk for a small fee.

I keep seeing this idea, that Bitcoin has yet to find its "Killer App".
Seriously? I can send a Bitcoin and pay someone ... who is living anywhere
in the world. In just a few minutes. With just a few pennies for a
transaction fee. That is the killer application. The ability to mobilize
funds from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world as they are needed
.
A family emergency? No western union or paypal. Just send Bitcoins.
Today, right now, I can send someone Bitcoins, and they can make an amazon.
com purchase with them through Gyft immediately. Or buy a meal. And as more
merchants come to accept Bitcoin, they will be spendable anywhere in the
world. A level playing field without artificial barriers built and
maintained by a banking system that refuses to upgrade or innovate and lower
costs.
