I don't subscribe to Netflix because I'm not entertained by such things. That doesn't mean others don't have a need for low-cost narrative diversion.

The fact that you don't acutely feel the need for a trustless digital money is very telling of your position in the world. I would recommend you read the book "Check Your Financial Privilege", by Alex Gladstein. You will find that, as an absolute fact, the use case is in extremely dire need of solving, and Bitcoin is the solution.

> People don't have problems sending money from A to B.

Respectfully, this is a deeply ignorant and factually incorrect sentence.

This indicates to me that: you have never travelled outside a limited set of highly-developed countries; never met anyone from a developing country; never had to send anyone more than $10,000; never had to send or receive money from another country; never met anyone who sends or receives remittances; never done any cross-border business transaction requiring FX conversions.

In some of the above instances, it is technically possible to send money from A to B, but only at very high cost, slowly, and with serious privacy and, at times, physical safety tradeoffs.

I would encourage you to look into how those usecases currently function, in a nuts-and-bolts way. It is ugly. A decent book on this subject is "Check Your Financial Privilege", by Alex Gladstein.
