This seems detached from reality.

* Governments can and have confiscated bitcoin

* they can stop transactions by blocking access to wallets and exchanges etc

* They're a terrible medium for savings, unless you want your savings account to routinely swing wildly up and down in value

* 99.9% of people interested in Bitcoin do not care about these supposed benefits (which I'm skeptical even exist.) Yes there are the handful of goldbugs and libertarians, but most just want to see the number go up.
