In your opinion, what is the point of bitcoin?

I see two main use cases for it:

1) Investment that hedges against out of control inflation.

2) Opt-out parallel banking system that Gov't can't control.

Case 1 requires that bitcoin be valued by people. So, this requires more people wanting it, and mass adoption is good for demand.

Case 2 is why I think bitcoin is important. It takes the money supply out of the control of centalized banking and reduces their ability to rob us to fund their corruption and wars. For bitcoin to make a meaningful impact, here, I believe there would need to be a lot of people using it as their currency (mass opt out). Bitcoin also provides an alternative the CBDC in the pipeline. I want more people to be free of the dystopian nightmare tied to that.

In either case, mass adoption is not the point, but it is beneficial to the goal or may be required to achieve it.
