Are there any really good resources for learning about Bitcoin (and digital currency in general)? I'm not looking to invest or anything. Or even use it. Just interested in this phenomenon

Each coin has a whitepaper that explains what they are about. https://paybis.com/blog/bitcoin-whitepaper-explained/

How can bitcoin be a viable currency though with these huge transaction fees?

Its not. It will never work as a currency. At best it can be used as hedge against inflation

Bitcoin is used mostly for money laundering,illegal sales and gambling. It's never going to be viable

People have traded BTC to buy houses and cars, framing crypto as criminal money is retarded.

It can't. Maybe with Lightning Network, but even that has some issues.
