I view BTC/cryptocurrencies made possible by blockchain as the modern electronic alternative to gold and silver as a store of value. Free from (for the most part) manipulations from the Central Banks. I think the excitement (at least for me) was knowing that we now have a technology that can lead to honest money. Satoshi Nakamoto's initial inspiration for blockchain sprang from this idea after the banking crisis. Also, I recommend Mike Maloney's series "The Hidden Secrets of Money" which I think does an excellent job of explaining the fractional reserve banking and possible currency crisis.
