It sounds like all the same protections and uses you get with USD. I get the impression Coinbase may be moving in that direction if they haven't already.

What advantages over USD are there for using bitcoin to buy domains or items from amazon?

Not sure if there's any specific advantages, but I still prefer to use bitcoin when I can - just feels good. It's nice to be able to buy stuff from amazon without an amazon account though, although that has more to do with purse.io than bitcoin.
