Why is Bitcoin valuable?
Summary
Bitcoin's value is derived from a variety of different properties. Ultimately, the value of cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies comes from “trust.” As long as society trusts the fiat currency system, money will always have value. The same goes for Bitcoin: it has value as long as users trust it, but there are more factors to consider.
Unlike legal currency, Bitcoin is not subject to central bank supervision, and its decentralized architecture has given rise to a unique financial system. Blockchain technology brings security, practicality, and many other advantages while subverting traditional global value transfer methods. Analyzed from many aspects, Bitcoin can also be used as a means of value savings similar to gold.
