The Linden Bucks micropayment system works great. It's one of the few things in SL which actually works. But there are definitely political issues which can and will arise. Governments are pretty jealous about their currencies, althoug luckily the L$ came along at the same time as a truly international RL currency, the Euro.

What LL has trouble with is macropayments.
