I think it's just mind blowing to know that this is a transaction that:

• only requires 2 participants: a sender and a receiver. There are no middleman involved.

• is impossible to censor. Nobody can stop this transaction from happening.

• does not require anybody's permission.

• requires no identity on both ends. Actually, it doesn't not even require a human being.

• is unalterably written into history and this is even more so as time passes and hashes get stacked on top of them.

• can cross borders just as easy as it can cross the internet. As a matter a fact, this transaction might just as well have been sent from mars.
