Government currency keeps devaluing, and so keeps people in poverty, unable to save and become prosperous.
Bitcoin allows people the choice to withdraw their support from a system which has left them disenfranchised, to be free of the whims of Zimbabwean economists or Federal Reserve chairpersons.

You have a choice. You can choose a currency that is based on the violent threat of taxation and war, or a currency that is based on mathematics, and the confidence of your fellow man. People are forced, in some respect, to use dollars, pesos or euros, yet people use Bitcoin by choice. What does that say about its merits as money?
