I know a lot of people have different reason why the love and embrace bitcoin.
For me the decentralized nature of bitcoin and the thought of being able to send coins to anybody in any part of the word, no third party, no regulation(specific amount), no bullshit is mind blowing.
I embraced bitcoin is just like what you said, and more over Bitcoin Is a world wide, no one can control it, no one can predict about the price, It's safe for me because no more information about me, It is fast to earn money, someone who made it and we really don't know who he is, Price will goes up and down, very helpful when it comes to financials, and it is not hard too much to earn money, that whats Bitcoin impressed me.
