Your welcome... The advantage...if you want to call it one...is that you can see how much something cost in dollars...Lets fact it...all of us only use btc because we have to and it just happens to be awesome...BUT if there was a way to use cash IE money off credit/debit cards we all would.(of course I am saying security wise too) In that, using btc is like getting tokens back in the day to play video games at certain arcades...YOU had to have them if you wanted to play a game.. Well if your account is set to dollars...you can browse and not have to do the math in your head on how much something cost..again a lot of people like to think in btc..and that is great...but most want to know "how much does that cost (in dollars)? And this way you can tell that...right away. Another thing .......this is the only way to see the exchange rate on SR...if you are not in dollars but in BTC..you will never see the exchange rate...it just tells you that your items are 4.7 btc. So I never said anything about "advantage" and you never said I did...you just said you don't see the advantage of having your account in Dollars....and I would say..I don't see the disadvantage! @ ytabletrash....you don't need to guess in here...SR USES a 24 hour weighted average of Mt.Gox...that is not just my opinion or a guess...but a fact
