Bitcoin has pioneered a new asset class that can be transferred over the Internet and is not dependent on a central authority.

I don't own any cryptocurrency and can't put a dollar valuation on such an achievement, but it's certainly not an everyday thing.

Bitcoin didn't create that. Whoever was behind Satoshi Nakamoto created that.

And then it was duplicated across 1000s of other coins. The only advantage Bitcoin has in 2021 is that it was the first and most famous.
