Someone asked me today “what is the point of Bitcoin?”

How would you respond in one sentence without using any technical jargon, buzzwords, or clichés?

Every year that the US fails to balance the budget, the purchasing power of the US Dollar falls between 5% and 15%. Bitcoin's purpose is to give people around the world a place to put their money that does not sink into the abyss.

The point of Bitcoin is to provide a form of durable, fixed supply money that can be transmitted over long distances without relying on any one or few gatekeepers of infrastructure, thereby preventing censorship as well as dilution of value through fractional reserve banking.

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"?
