If everybody wanted to move to BTC, the dollars to buy the bitcoin would be essentially worthless. Everyone who owned money would have their fortunes and savings become essentially worthless. As this started to happen, those many people who owned USD still would start to lose their appeal of bitcoin, and start to work with USD again. In essence, USD (or any paper currency) would never become worthless simply because so many people would be stuck with it.
