The brilliance of Bitcoin is the lack of a Federal Reserve staffed by shysters that lend currency to a govt. with debt. Easy to see how all money is meaningless beyond the value society shares. A delusion we all willingly go along with, but when it becomes arbitrary with inflation or deflation that delusion can't persist. Post WW1 Weimar Germany would pay employees at start of day and let them shop, as bread would be 5x more expensive at end of day. People used currency as wall paper.
The public ledger available for all to see and unable to be manipulated creates a free market currency that bankers don't control. No wonder China is trying so hard to kill it.
