There are several reasons to use Bitcoin. For one, it has a great store of value- have been holding some since October of 2014 and have seen a steady incline in the price over this time period. I'm sure many individuals are curious about how it works. I will point you in the right direction with a few resources. Learning about cryptocurrency taught me a lot about money and value in general that I otherwise would not have if I didn't take the plunge and get involved. One thing I will tell you is that the steady increase over time can definitely help... I remember a time 10 years or so ago- when I got my first bank account- back then, you'd make money on your money by it sitting in a savings account.( something like 1% if I remember correctly). Now? Well, now you are more likely to get hit by fees. Another thing to be concerned about is the value of money and how it is falling over time (since we were taken off the gold standard). For example, $20 in 1999 would be worth $28-something today...that's crazy!! That's an 8-inch sub at Jersey Mikes you are missing out on right there. What I am concerned about is that our currency will continue to devalue.
