The real issue of money is control. Even if people want to use the dollar because it's a "stable" currency that "allows for progress/growth" that shouldn't give them the right to force others to use the currency.
Legal tender laws, prohibitions on issuing alternative money/coinage, and taxes on other forms of money are ways in which government forces its citizens to use its currency. If the currency were really so good, people shouldn't have to be forced to use it.
Regarding currency, government apologists are like commissars who, while preventing their citizens from leaving the country, loudly proclaim that they are better off than their capitalist neighbors.
