    When you hear words like "HODL," "HALVING," "BULL RUN," you're left in no doubt that most members of the Bitcoin community like the cryptocurrency because of the prospect or hope that it could make them rich. I know it's made early adopters rich, but shouldn't there be other reasons to learn and use Bitcoin besides price fluctuations? Was this Satoshi's motive for the invention? Is price the most important driver of your interest in Bitcoin?

    Bitcoin is a game changer. Satoshi Nakamoto invented digital scarcity.

    There are many interesting things about Bitcoin, covering many different topics such as finance, maths, computer science, societal impacts, etc.

    Even after more than a decade of Genesis we still see new technologies and businesses being built around Bitcoin.

    One of the fundamental aspects of Bitcoin is that it is decentralized. This is revolutionary.

    Bitcoin allows anyone to be able to transfer money around the world, without any intermediaries, no permissions, etc.

    This is at least as important (or maybe even more) as Phil Zimmermann's PGP[1], which allowed anyone to encrypt their own information, more than three decades ago.
