It's good but does miss some of the more subtle yet equally important features of Bitcoin.
I always cringe a little when people say Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency. It wasn't.
Bitcoin was the first fully decentralized cryptocurrency but it built upon the work of many others over several decades.
This might not seem like an important detail but I think it's at the heart of why some people think Bitcoin is old and outdated. It's also why people think they can create something better or "fix" Bitcoin.
