Bitcoin is great because of its fix supply. 21 million bitcoins. 2,100,000,000,000,000 (2.1 quadrillion) satoshis. No inflation, independent from a private entity. Its value does not depend on a board of shareholders. There is no after hours extra issuance of trillions of coins.
Descentralized, one block after the other, all around the world.
I'm glad I found Bitcoin, it's a solid -almost perfected- solution to many of the root problems and conflicts we are facing in the world.
Lightning Network is not mentioned in the article, but it is also an amazing way of delivering micro payments instantly. It's just a matter of time that people get to understand it and cherish it as a great tool for the development of civilization.
