Your argumentation attempts to compare Bitcoin to the fact there is a very real possibility that the US government will declare gold illegal again in the future... I am sorry but this makes me see you as a lunatic. If you believe that about gold, you may just as well believe they will make wearing red shirts illegal on Wednesdays. No amount of arguing will make you change your mind.
You say euros and gold are "bad examples", but I could cite tons of other examples. For example the US perfectly allows holding and trading in all (virtually all?) foreign currencies including countries it has strained relationships with (Iranian rial, Burmese kyat, etc) and these countries have economies as large as, if not larger than Bitcoin. And because none of these foreign exchanges or currencies are illegal, I doubt Bitcoin will be made illegal.
I await your reply explaining in a convoluted way why each and every foreign currency or commodity is somehow a "bad example", and why the US would allow them but not Bitcoin.
