Currency has more than two functions. Transferring wealth is not the same as paying for goods, and storing wealth is not the same as holding a speculative asset class.

Bitcoin is volatile. Holding it is more like holding gold, not USD.

Bitcoin is very easy to move across borders. Moving it is much more like a bank transfer, than paying for a pizza.
