No.
If you don't know why, there's no hope for you.

Top 10 Reasons to Play the Bongcloud
10. Your current repertoire is too drawish.
9. You want to avoid the reams of theory needed to play the Najdorf or QGD by selecting an opening with less published thought.
8. "Everything is playable at the club level."
7. You are devoted to a de la Maza tactics regimen and don't want to waste time studying openings.
6. You are intimidated by openings with hard-to-pronounce names like Bogoljubov-Indian, Scheveningen Sicili an, Trompowsky, and Konstantinopolsky
5. Your current repertoire is too well-known in your club and you want to surprise your opponents.
4. You can't afford the full version of ChessBase and want an opening where all known games will fit in ChessBase Light's 32,000-game limit.
3. You're interested in an opening for which no GM or IM has published a refutation.
2. You’ve noticed that while dozens of people have published “Anti-Sicilian” books, there are far fewer “Anti-Bongcloud” books.
One's legal and bad, the other is illegal and good. And considering that the top ten reasons contain nine entries, I think I know which Bongcloud is being referred to here. 
I just lost a Bongcloud game 
bongcloud is the best opening. just look at: my games.
Thank You
now I know this is something of a joke... but 14. dxc2?
why not 14. Qxg2 Ne2 15. dxe2...
now black has huge material advantage- just like he should, right?
Yeah, the Bongcloud is a dangerous sideline used in the 1980s. It develops the king early and pepare for fast counterplay. Definitely playable imo. The bongcloud countergambit 2. Ke7!? is one of the major attempt to refute the bongcloud, but fortunately the Marijanezy Bind allows white to hold on to an advantage.
Whole line goes: 1. e4 e5 2. Ke2 Ke7 3. g4 g5 4. Kf3!!

The king is the least used piece in attacks. Sure there's that Nigel Short game, where he used his king to checkmate, but the king deserves an opening... doesn't it?
I mean, if you were a king would you want to be waiting in a corner until endgame or would you want to attack?

You might think the Bongcloud is the perfect opening for the King of the Hill variant. I often castle against Bongcloud players in that variant and when their king cries "attack the center with me", I do. I'm mildly surprised at how many checkmates I've delivered in a single-digit number of moves.

NO. At the end of the day, the answer to that question is always NO.
