1/ If Bitcoin fails, Privacy Fails
The ability for individuals to send & receive value peer-to-peer without the interference of government & the banking system will be lost. Bitcoin allows for a future where anyone can have private access to their money.
2) If Bitcoin fails, Censorship Wins
We are in an unprecedented age of censorship. Bitcoin is the most secure network that has ever been built. Resilient, antifragile, & permission-less. Open to anyone in the world. There is nothing else like it. Bitcoin can’t be censored.
3) If Bitcoin Fails, Big Government Wins
The government can lose hundreds of billions annually but want us to report every time we spend over $600. There is no government accountably or transparency in our system. Without Bitcoin we lose the only counterweight to that system.
4) If Bitcoin fails, Central Banks Win
Unelected bureaucrats decide the value of your labor & time. Money is the way we store the value of our time on this earth. No one should have the power to inflate the value of your time away from you. Bitcoin’s set 21MM supply fixes this.
5) If Bitcoin fails, Free Speech fails
Bitcoin is code. Letters & numbers. A private key is all you need to be able to store, transport & transact value with. Never in human history has speech & language been this powerful. The freedom to speak is the most basic of human rights.
6) If Bitcoin fails, Objective Truth is Lost
"What is truth?” has never been more convoluted. You can find experts on both sides with “internet facts” supporting them. Bitcoin is the only thing we have that is truly objective & transparent. The longest chain speaks for itself.
7) If Bitcoin fails, The Energy Transition Fails
If the hope is to transition to a new energy future, we need Bitcoin, the energy buyer of first & last resort. Bitcoin monetizes energy waste & incentivizes new & efficient energy resources. Energy & Bitcoin are nearly synonymous.
8 ) If Bitcoin fails, Capitalism Fails
There is no CEO of Bitcoin. Bitcoin gained value organically, from the bottom up. The Network represents the spirit of capitalism harnessed in code. Self-interest combined with innovation & ingenuity. If you value capitalism, value Bitcoin.
9 ) If Bitcoin fails, We Will Own Nothing
We don’t own anything of value. Property & money are regulated & stored with custodians. You don’t own it; you just have a claim. With Bitcoin, the value of your life’s work can be stored in a few words. Free to take with you anywhere.
10 ) Bitcoin is too important to fail
If you value freedom, transparency, and truth, then you should want Bitcoin to succeed
If you value oppression, censorship, and corruption, then you should want Bitcoin to fail
We can't let Bitcoin fail.

If Monero fails (maybe even Zcash) then okay we can say privacy fails, but bitcoin is viewable on an open ledger so I'm not sure how if it fails privacy fails. Bitcoin failing also doesn't mean any of that other stuff. Another coin could easily come in and "take over" bitcoin and take it's place with better technology yet achieve all of these things you have listed out, then those things don't "fail".
