If you want an interesting read, the original (anonymous) thesis of bitcoin was that they were created as a statement about the worthlessness of fiat currency, except what we give it.

The proposition was that bitcoin was more valuable, in that; (1) it could be securely exchanged peer-to-peer over great distances, like cash and the transfer could not be easily prevented by middle-men (like banks or governments) (also like cash) and (2) was not subject to devaluation due to leftists going mad with a printing press.

It was never intended to be a “thing”, just proof of concept.

But became a “thing”.

I watched this a couple of years ago. I guess it was meant to sing the praises of bitcoin but all it did for me was to confirm how sketchy it is

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2821314/

At the end it states “Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym of the person or group who invented Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency. Despite the enormous impact of this invention on financial markets and the world of technology, Nakamoto’s identity remains a major mystery in modern tech history.”

Nobody knows who created it....WHAT??!!
