Ladies, gentlemen, those somewhere in between I present to you the latest stupidity! How far can one person go only using bitcoins?
NOWHERE!
The reason for that is simple. No business will take fake internet fiat money. Thus is the folly of the user TheRealPlato!

To get anywhere he has to sucker people to trade bitcoins for USD, because no business will take fake internet fiat money. Unfortunately the people he had suckered will lose money because bitcoins have unstable value. This is assuming that those persons can find some way to use the bitcoins in the first place.
Those of you quick on the uptake will have noticed that by having to barter for USD is contrary to the purpose of his road trip. If bitcoins can not be directly used then they are worthless.
Credit goes to the goons of YOSPOS for finding this!

Proof that some intelligent people use reddit.com:
"Forget this bitcoin stuff. Who fucking tries to drive cross country without a jack in their trunk?" -mister-bizarro
"Your entire plan seems to rely on having other people, using REAL currency, buy things for you. You may as well be offering hand jobs, or pistachios." -be_real
Unsurprisingly, both interpretations are correct. What did anyone expect for a system used to dodge taxes and buy drugs?
Hell I have even provided a link to a step by step tutorial on how to steal bitcoins.

Is it a scam or a really stupid libertarian thing? There is no way to know! It's like Poe's law, the two are indistinguishable.
