Bitcoin has value because you can transfer this value anywhere in the world where there is an Internet! And you can do it in minutes!
And you can't do it with gold or any other material object!
In fact, Bitcoin easily performs the function of money - the transfer of value!

Exactly. Bitcoin has many benefits that are not found in Fiat or Gold. The pioneer cryptocurrency is portable, extremely secure, and cheap for cross-border payments (sort of). On top of that, Bitcoin is decentralized with no entity behind it. This is what gives Bitcoin value in the mainstream world. People will continue to invest in Bitcoin as long as it remains decentralized. Even with the high fees and slow transaction confirmation times, people are still using it for mainstream payments. Despite what the naysayers say about Bitcoin, it's still alive and running after all these years. Bitcoin is one of the most (if not the most) valuable cryptocurrencies in the world today. It's hard to take it down after years of non-stop success.

All in all, I believe that Bitcoin will remain a valuable cryptocurrency for many generations. Satoshi was a true genius by inventing a resilient form of money anyone can use worldwide. If it wasn't by his/her/their creation, we wouldn't have true financial freedom. Being the first cryptocurrency that introduced Blockchain technology to the world, explains why Bitcoin still has value today. Just my opinion
