Currency allows us to transmute one resource into another. The aim of Bitcoin is whatever useful thing we can obtain with it. Rocks have their own value. Though I have to admit that I don't know if they have value apart from being useful or beautiful to rational souls. If not I guess there isn't much difference to Bitcoin. Any real philosophers in the house?

Bitcoin isn't only a currency, tho. It's also a store of value and a measure of cost/energy. It's true money. And something being useful or beautiful is a lot of value. We can use useful things to do good works and beauty inspires hope and motivates laborers. If you can use this modified rock, we call Bitcoin, to feed the poor and heal the sick more efficiently, than with unmodified rocks or letters of credit, then that seems morally significant.
And even if you just gave Bitcoin directly to the poor, it would rise in purchasing power, if they didn't immediately spend it all. That means that a poor person could regularly spend a small portion of it, to subsist off of, and never run out of money. It's charity that keeps on giving. Bizarre, if you think about it. But important.
