Bitcoin and the blockchain technology underneath it offer a whole new way to think about money and institutions. Given the diminishing trust in governments and institutions, a system that offers a trustless solution is very valuable.

It doesn't mean decentralized solutions are perfect. They have their cons just as centralization has its pros.

But, if I had to hang my hat somewhere, it'll be where I don't have to trust a central authority to act in my best interest.

Bitcoin is the first in this transformation, but technology is always evolving so it doesn't mean it'll be there in the end.
