Not entirely. A few other use cases:

- workaround to not pay Western Union's fees

- investment

- trading

- protection against inflation

- money to buy goods from (sometimes questionable) places

- money to buy digital goods

- NFT Stuff

5 out of 7 I can do already. Western Union and NFT are the use cases I can see as unique. Although wasn’t there an NFT exchange where I can buy in dollars now?

That’s not to say it should be mutually exclusive, but it’s not unique and probably simpler with hard currencies. And probably more safe guarded as well.
