What are the reasons behind Bitcoin being so strong?

[Alonso_]

Bitcoin is so strong because it has given people that knowledge of financial freedom, considering that you’ve been buying and investing in bitcoin there is an opportunity that it gives you financial freedom in a long time, when you have made profits as well, also in terms of decentralization of bitcoin is something that is also very important because it has made bitcoin special when you have control over your bitcoin assets, you have control over your bitcoin for the short and long term investment, which is why there is an enablement for a long term investment when you stay consistent, nobody have control over your bitcoin and also scarcity is something that have also made bitcoin special and unique.

You're right about decentralization, but it can't be the only factor that strengthens Bitcoin, it also gains value overtime which is why many people adopt it, so that factor can't be overlooked, which is why yoi should also acknowledge the fixed supply and demand/supply dynamics. Decentralization makes Bitcoin unique and secure from the control of any government or entity but scarcity and demand contributes to it's value so you can't talk about decentralization and disregard that.

Its very true, only decentralisation does not make bitcoin a valuable item but a series of things that no other cryptocurrency can do or if they do it they cant do it better, but i think bitcoin is valuable because people trust it. It is THE first cryptocurrency people knew about at this big scale and because of it being the first cryptocurrency it is trusted by everyone. There can easily be another crypto that is same like bitcoin but it woldnt suceed as much because people would merely see it as a copy and they wont trust it. So being the first cryptocurrency also gives bitcoin an edge

I agree that Bitcoin’s real strength goes far beyond its price. With a fixed supply of 21 million BTC, growing institutional adoption, and the freedom to control our own assets, BTC has strong potential for long-term growth. What makes me even more optimistic is seeing Bitcoin become more useful in everyday life. I recently used BTC to pay in installments at 0% interest for a coffee machine through Web3 Uquid Shop, which showed me that Bitcoin is not just something to hold and wait for its price to rise. If more people can use BTC for real purchases like this, I believe its value and adoption could grow much further over time.

You have said alot of things about the reason why Bitcoin is so strong, and i see that so much has happened in the BTC market that some people seem not to notice the major reason why early BTC holders and miners joined the space in the first place when BTC was still $0.1, which is the technological concept it presented and the problem it solved. For the record, every invention that excels in this area will technically thrive.
I believe this shows that BTC price is just the surface, and its real strength comes from properties it possesses that can’t be changed.

Yes, I meant to say that we can only see its effectiveness through price, but the reasons behind Bitcoin being so strong are its structural structure and some unique features. While we know that if there is a certain limit to any asset and if that asset is accepted by people, then gradually the abundance of that asset decreases, resulting in an increase in price, the same is true in the case of Bitcoin. The total supply of Bitcoin is 21 million and many Bitcoins have already been lost from here, so there is a very small number of Bitcoins in the market, but in this world of 800 million people, if even 10% of people have an idea about Bitcoin and express interest in investing, then there will be a considerable shortage of Bitcoin in the market, resulting in a significant increase in price, in which case we can consider its supply as a strong basis rather than considering price as the main force.
Again, it is completely decentralized, meaning that there is no one controlling it, you are the only owner of all the Bitcoin you have. There is no third party involved here, and no one person can have a major impact on the market even within the market system. In this case, we can give priority to its decentralized power behind Bitcoin's strength.

Yes, the reason behind Bitcoin's strength is its core concept, but the effectiveness of BTC depends on the aspect you focus on or believe in, which you have already pointed out as the price, because BTC being used as a hedge fund when it comes to purchasing power is also another part of its effectiveness.

world of 800 million people

8.3 billion people.

We can give priority  to Bitcoin decentralization due to the role it plays, but I have to disagree with you when you said "no one person can have a major impact on the market".
This is incorrect because Strategy Inc. (formerly known as MicroStrategy) have done this several time, so is also the like of President Trump, etc. Besides, in the future, the ETF's organization will do something worse if we don't prioritize self-custody.
