the power of "decentralized system" in this case is merely from the fact that more of it can't be created. When we're talking about the big movers, the institutional investors and the big money, they didn't run to bitcoin because it was cool tech, or cool to be decentralized. they're investing in bitcoin not because of bitcoin. they're investing in bitcoin because central governments have defaulted on their obligation of having a stable currency. You can't hold fiat currencies when they're loosing value at 6% to 12% or more per year, it's just too costly.

Bonds and cash are no longer viable investment asset classes. So all that leaves is Equities, Gold, real estate and bitcoin. It's all about TINA -> there is no alternative.
