I like the fact that it is a disruptive technology. We need alternatives in our lives, and Bitcoin offer us the alternative. If we only had one option for everything, that option would take advantage of their position and they would start to exploit that position. A perfect example of this is the banks. They are in a position of power, because they offered us money and now we are under their control with the debt.
The debt does not exist, because the money was created out of thin air. < If you understand, how they created that money >
Bitcoin is the alternative to many centralized payment options and also remittance services like MoneyGram/WU that are exploiting people with high fees.
I think this opening statement is what attracted most of us to try out bitcoin and any other crypto for that matter.
I do wonder what happens when organisations do more to centralise it... WU and moneygram grew and were popular for many of the same reasons and seemed to give people more control back, removing control from banks.
But when you consider now how difficult and costly it can be to own or sell bitcoin...
