I am a complete novice and trying to understand Bitcoin's functionality. I really don't understand how and why there is such a price appreciation since 2009 till now? I often hear where everyone talks about its security but then the details of the people are already with exchanges and exchanges are getting hacked at times and people are losing their digital currency so then how it is safe and anonymous. In many posts and discussion threads, I have read where some say Government will stop the digital currency and some say Government will adopt it. What are the possible exact reasons for the same?
What is the store of value of Bitcoin apart from the medium of exchange?
Sorry if questions are bit silly:)
