Bitcoin , whats the point?

[Minstrel SE]

Ive got no real idea who it benefits now as Im not interested. Dont you need a wheelbarrow of lolly just to buy one electronic coin now?

I dont know whether its sticking it to the man of just a core group making dough from a crazy speculation fad. I dont need it in my life and just feel it eventually gets sucked into the twisted speculation that affects normal money markets. It has worried the banks into looking at blockchain technology

I read this and its still barely of interest. https://www.lrb.co.uk/v38/n08/john-l...tcoin-grows-up

Is it for buying dodgy stuff using an untraceable method?....I dont really know. I tend to learn about things when I have an interest in using them
