Decentralization: Bitcoin operates on a blockchain, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes (computers) around the world.
Limited supply: There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins, which makes it deflationary.
Mining: New bitcoins are created through a process called mining, where participants solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions.
Store of value: Often referred to as "digital gold," Bitcoin is widely seen as a store of value due to its scarcity and resistance to censorship.
