You might not understand the worth of Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation until you live in a country that it's currency is losing value. I live in a place where our currency has lost 40% of its value in six months. The price of everything went high, but people who kept their money in Bitcoin were not affected.
That's so sad mate. A 40% drop in local currency within six months, oh man that's a massive drop in value. If it could happen this way in 6 months then think of 1 year interval, that should be close to 100%. This means that the purchasing power is 2 times every single year.
Basically, those who held Bitcoin instead of local cash will be the only ones that could preserve the value of their money. This kind of life experience shows why Bitcoin isn't an internet hype, many people are running towards it for store of value.
