bitcoin is amazing in the sense that you ask "what is bitcoin/what's its purpose" to butters and no one will give the same answer

Its like gold. Is gold a rogue currency too? That its digital, and can therefore compete with fiat currencies (unlike gold), is what has everyone scared of this stuff.

currency? but i thought it was a store of value!

It is what it was meant to become. Ok. YouTube was meant to be a dating site. Sometimes the creators are on to something without nailing it the first time. Bitcoin is a phenomenal store of value, that doesn't need to be used to purchase coffee any more than flecks of gold on a scale at the register need to be used to purchase coffee.
