What are the characteristics of bitcoin?
There are several principal features in bitcoin. Read about them below.

Decentralization
The central control body of the bitcoin network does not exist: it is distributed to all participants, and every computer that produces bitcoins is an equal participant in this system. This means that no central body has the ability to dictate rules to the owners of the bitcoins, as, say, it was in early 2013 in Cyprus. And even if some part of the network goes offline, the payment system will continue to work stably.
