- You can send any amount of money to anyone in the world very quickly and cheaply, and nobody can stop you.
- No government can dilute it or limit its supply.
Stuff like that. Maybe that matters to you, maybe not, but BTC was created because that didn't exist. And even if you don't use it, you're living in a world where financial institutions have to live alongside an alternative that does these things, for whatever that's worth.

No, you can send any amount of _bitcoin_ to another address, not money.
The value of BTC was backed by the cost of an 8th of pot on silkroad when it first got going. Now it is backed by the USD, which in turn is backed by the US military and the petrodollar. You're effectively trading in US dollars, and if you fuck up the tax man will be on your ass.

Any government can seize bitcoins and effectively destroy them. Dilute, sure, nobody can do that, the number is fixed.
