Dollar's are backed by a large hegemonic power, with control of its armed forces, which is capable of extracting taxes from its population.

This makes them valuable, unless you expect the US government to fall shortly. Bitcoin does not have these features. It also does not have the normal features of a commodity (i.e. industrial uses).

This means it has zero intrinsic value - nothing stablizes or enforces its value in anyway.
