    I don’t understand how bitcoin has value

    The first major use case were donations to wikileaks, because the existing financial system shut them out. Recently, the Americans shut Russia out of the financial system and stole their money. Escaping financial repression is valuable (even if you don’t agree that people should be able to escape).
