It took me quite a while to understand what Bitcoin is about. Of course, decentralised systems are exciting tech, but what's really interesting is that Bitcoin focuses attention onto fundamental questions of society:

- How can we transport value through space at the speed of light?

- How can we transport value through time?

- How can we protect our life savings from inflation?

- How can we develop a free market of currencies which solves the issues of centrally controlled currencies?

- How can we align incentives such that we stop consuming low quality products that produce lots of waste and start valuing high quality products that last for decades?

- In general: How can we, as a society, enjoy the benefits of a low time preference?

Such questions are the reason why I believe Bitcoin is one of the most disruptive technologies of our century.
