Objectively, the money is just a sheet of paper, why? The paper is recognized by the state government to ensure that, so what is the guarantee? that is gold. Which country more and more gold, wealth assets are terrible, that currency is priced compared to other currencies. To understand more about currency you can see the book "War Money" nhé!
Bitcoin is generally accepted by the community and is priced against USD or gold so it's worth it.
In short, every value is converted into gold. But gold has some major disadvantages so new alternatives are available such as money and now Bitcoin.
I want also to buy and read the "Money War" because it sounds interesting!
Like what you have said, bitcoin can be an alternative way to pay and send money using technology. I can say that fiat currency value can fade and the value of money is just a government issue. In short, the fiat backed by golds is useless if the country did not anymore accept it. Unlike with bitcoin, government can't make a change to its value because it is decentralized and the only problem I could see tl bitcoin is banning of the government.
