Bitcoin has been impressive in a lot of ways since it's beginning but the one thing that blew me out the most was the ideology. A foolproof peer to peer online transaction system based on blockchain technology was just a beautiful set of works executed and implemented by Satoshi and no wonder it has already made its mark in every field it is being used in.
I agree with your opinion. Bitcoin doesn't require any third party for the transaction to take place. This gives us control over our money and not the banks, this is what Satoshi had envisioned and soon this will take over the whole world. Soon we will have total control over our money.
