Can't blame people for favoring something with less volatility than Bitcoin. This perspective of course misses a big part of what Bitcoin is, but for people living from pay to pay check, running a business that still operates in the fiat world, etc, that's in the end all that matters. Long term accrual/hedge against inflation/permissionless money/censorship resistant/etc does not matter compared to short-term volatility. Eventually, volatility may reduce (even there are theories that for Bitcoin to keep existing, volatility is a necessary characteristic), and thus make this kind of counterargument mute. Until then, it'll remain an uphill battle...
