> Bitcoin was created to seperate money from state

that is a good one. If we cannot even separate god from state and that should be fairly easy in our modern age of science and facts, how will we do that with bitcoin since. We are doomed :)

boosting as these questions keep coming up and I'd like to see more ELI5 type answers

There are many topics here, and I'll let others address each of them them directly, if I had to try and cover everything in one sentence though

# Bitcoin was created to seperate money from state

Small blocks and PoW are therefore a _feature_ as nodes can run on consumer hardware (not vulnerable cloud farms) and transactions are verified by reference to a physical energy source (not a founding group who are forever in control)

If a state can control it (ie, censor transactions or influence development) it's not free money.
