   As long as you are certain you can exchange both ways before the value fluctuates too much !bitcoin is a really good method of both transferring money and exchanging currency.
   The #BitcoinCore client is awfully resource demanding (you need the full tens-of-gigabytes blockchain stored locally). Other ways of keeping your wallet are clients like #Electrum which keep your private keys locally but rely on a third party server to verify the blockchain).

     !bitcoin Also, don't think of it as "cost free" and you'll be better off. There will always be differences in exchange markets and you'll loose a small percentage. But at least that percentage won't go to #PayPal or #Forex...
