Why do countries issue their own currency? Financial sovereignty, so they are not enslaved to US monetary policy. When gold was in individual custody, this was not an issue. You need sovereignty from your state same way your country needs sovereignty from the US.

BUSINESS in BITCOIN One party has Bitcoin (pB) and another has fiat (pF). Both are long towards the BTC standard. You have pF buy a car and put it into a joint venture. pB operates the car and generates BTC revenue. pB hopes to spend less and replace easier. pF hopes to acquire discount BTC. pB rewards the Fiat Party, buying them out monthly. If pB stops sharing profits, pF may take over the business, with car and BTC guarantees as recourse. If pB completes payments, pF exits and gains a BTC return. If BTC is up - they both win. Less BTC is spent and the deal is completed faster. If BTC is down, they both share the risk. More BTC is spent and the deal takes longer.
