Bitcoin is like Communism. It sounds good to people who are ignorant of economics.
I got into cryptocurrency 10+ years ago after spending some time pondering what characteristics made for good money. I drew up a chart comparing dollars to gold. Bitcoin had recently hit $1000, leading to some headlines that made me aware of it. I added a 3rd column to the chart, drew up all the criteria I could think of, and started grading the three options. The rest is history. You might find value in repeating the exercise.
