I think that understanding Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and viewing bitcoin through that lens helps a lot. Here's a good article from the MMT perspective: http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2013/12/fair-price-bitcoi...

It also helps to understand the history of money and how it came to be in the first place, and how fundamentally currencies and states go hand in hand. David Graeber's "Debt" is good in that sense.

And in case that's not enough, here's JPM's Jamie Dimon's take on it: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-13/jamie-dim...

It's also weird how bankers, anarchists, and MMT economists come to agree on this.
