I know this gets asked a lot but…

I know this gets asked a lot and I’m sorry but I still don’t understand. I really want to research into bitcoin but I don’t understand certain aspects of it.

I’m aware of how the process itself works, but why is it so beloved? Is it purely because no banks can get their dirty hands on it and “own it” like they do with fiat money? What makes you all think this will keep going up consistently and beating the S&P 500 for the next 20 years? I get nothing is certain but some people are pretty sure of this…

It says that bitcoin has no owner but how do we know that for sure? What if whoever created Bitcoin has something set up to commit one of the biggest scams in history where everyone loses money by the click of a button? There could be something ominous hidden amongst it all.

Also, I understand that “Satoshi” founded the idea but who actually put this all into practice?

I apologise if these are dumb questions but I find it very confusing.
