Bitcoin is giving people in hyperinflation environments like Nigeria, Argentina, Turkey an out to their oppressive and corrupt govt banking system.

If one looks at gold and asks themselves “why is gold worth 11 trillion dollars today?” How did it, over centuries and centuries obtain such a status?

Bitcoin has better properties than gold does. It’s more scarce, scarcity means predictability, and predictability gives rise to trust.

You don’t have to be a hardcore libertarian- I’m sure not- to appreciate a better version of gold, and what benefits that can have.

Also - the USD is used more for malicious purposes, paper money is actually harder to track than Bitcoin transactions.
