The big shebang with crypto is that you can settle transactions in less time and with less intermediaries than any other method besides physical exchange. Now you can send money to space if you wanted, over the internet, with T+ like 15 minutes settlement in any amount, inexpensively, with good security, in a universal network.
You might not think this matters if you're not aware of how banking works but there currently is not another way to do this, and the systems in place are a gigantic pain in the ass to navigate on the back end.

Bitcoin is THE unit of account, a decentralized fixed supply transferable asset. This did not exist before bitcoin. Known scarcity is the wellspring from which the value of Money flows, bitcoin (fixed supply) is to gold (2% mining inflation) as superconductors are to conductors. This is systematically valuable because this is a universal economic demand, something will be used as a unit of account something always is, gold and large cap equities have played this role but BTC meets the demand better being truly fixed in supply. It does not need nor even benefit from being used as common currency, it can function as the unit of account fine as a free floating asset as price carries information.

Actually, yes. I know Boomers who have paid for a home directly with gold to other Boomers, or have talked about how their father's and grandfathers did before modern real estate existed. It was better than suitcases of cash/coins for large payments at one time.
>Why would Bitcoin be any different?
Bitcoin totes itself as a digital liquid asset that is supposed to act the same way as fiat (if it ever got mass adopted), unlike stocks that represent owning a piece of a company. The problem is people see Bitcoin like a stock, rather than a digital battering note.
