I do not think that it is "on the verge", rather, it is there already.
I have a business plan. It presumes that I can RECEIVE cash
anonymously and operate in a certain city. As far as I understand,
a modification of existing protocols allows to implement anonymity
of payees.
I open a trug trading center at, for example,
[email protected]. Alternatively, I can publish my public
key in alt.anonymous.messages.
Drug addicts would send me digital cash and specify which drugs they
wish to receive, and send me their public keys. I would place their
drugs in some random place in that city, and then send them (anonymously)
the location of the place so that they can pick it up.
I do not see how I can be detected, modulo the security of anonymous
remailers. Since my reputation will be based on PGP authentication, I
will have an incentive not to cheat.

P.S. I do not believe that anon remailers provide an adequate security.
