I'd add gain control of their own wealth to that list. With infinite QE happening as we speak, keeping cash around is folly. Not everyone involved in bitcoin is trying to circumvent laws and regulations, in the same way that not all people who hoard gold are trying to do so.

Fiat money is designed to fail when not pegged to the value of something else. The value of the dollar was separated from the gold standard in 1971. How long does it have?

Bitcoin has value in itself.
