This is a great point thanks for making it. imho it could be worded better, but it subtaintially invalidates the arguments like "bitcoin can only be used to waste energy and buy buy drugs"
There's no actual user value involved. "Avoids USD" is almost a religious statement. If one is concerned about volatility, then Bitcoin is a bad choice; it's more volatile than any major currency and most commodities. If one is concerned about the US government's future behavior, there are other major currencies. (And really, a currency is a bad place to park your wealth.) For any legitimate financial aim, there's a better solution than Bitcoin.
