Bitcoin represents a breakthrough in monetary technology, combining the best properties of previous money with new capabilities only possible in the digital realm.
Digital Scarcity: For the first time in history, we have a digital asset with provable, absolute scarcity. Only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist.
Decentralization: No single entity controls Bitcoin. It operates through a distributed network of nodes worldwide.
Immutability: Bitcoin transactions, once confirmed, cannot be reversed or censored. The ledger becomes increasingly immutable over time.
Transparency: All transactions are publicly visible on the blockchain, enabling unprecedented auditability.
Programmability: Bitcoin can execute basic smart contracts and is programmable money that follows predetermined rules.
Global Accessibility: Bitcoin works the same everywhere, 24/7, without borders or restrictions.
Self-Sovereignty: You can hold and transfer Bitcoin without permission from any authority.
