So the important problem fixed by Bitcoin is getting some value which can be electronicaly moved.

I guess banks never thought of offering this kind of service. Thanks Satoshi!

...which can be electronicaly moved without giving away control of your funds to a company/government who can easily seize, devalue, or prevent you from accessing your funds.
