Bitcoin isn't a bad way to save money if you can't set up an offshore bank account. Sure beats the local currency.

Which would make it a far better choice than the local currency.

The dollar is around 99% down off its peak. So?
Yo just chose some arbitrary timeline that bitcoin looks bad at. That's bad logic.

Year-over-year bitcoin is up approx. 300% as of today. In fact, it was 90% of the time in the past 5 years up YOY, except for 5-6 months after 2011th bubble.

Well, sure, but how do bitcoins look if you go back two years?
