A lot of the replies here seem to answer "what bitcoin is" (yes, it's freedom money). But the question was "what's the POINT of bitcoin"?
I don't think it's enough to focus on "what problems of our current world will bitcoin fix". There are many!
What happens after those problems are fixed, and the world gets to run on a fair and efficient bitcoin standard for a while, maybe a long while?
I'd say that the POINT of bitcoin is to bring about a literal Star Trek future, where humanity flourishes on Earth, spreads out into the universe and climbs up on the Kardashev scale.
