Many finance publications use USD regardless of their country of origin. Financial Times, a UK-based company, regularly lists valuations with USD equivalent. Does that invalidate the GBP or EUR as real currencies? The market cap of USD is over 1.5 trillion. The market cap of bitcoin is $45b USD. It's more than sensical to display equivalent conversions.
