Instead of OP's two properties of Bitcoin which are exactly the same as gold, try these 5:

Open: Anyone, anywhere in the world, can use Bitcoin without asking for approval.
Decentralized: No single authority controls Bitcoin
Secure: For over 16 years, despite enormous incentives to break it, Bitcoin has remained unhackable at the protocol level.
Protocol: Like the internet’s TCP/IP, it’s a protocol — winner-take-all, layered, and foundational. These are very rare and very different from technologies, let alone companies.
Bounded by energy: Mining ties Bitcoin’s issuance and security to real-world energy, creating a hard link between money and physical reality.
