1)Decentralized peer to peer currency
2)Blockchain and public ledger
3)Anonymous transactions
4)Bitcoin mining, hashing, and difficulty
5)Hardware and Software wallets
6)Zero to very low fees for transactions, and no chargebacks

You forgot scammers increase 100%.

Before we have bitcoin and bitcoin-based ponzi, we had liberty reserve and LR-based ponzi. And long before that, we had Charles Ponzi and his USD-based ponzi.

There's scammers everywhere, not just Bitcoin.  As long as the Internet's been around, there's been skeevy people trying to exploit innocent people.  Ebay's had scammers for years.  

As long as there's money and gullible people involved, Bitcoin and the Internet provide a forum for scamming.  Bitcoin certainly didn't invent or introduce it.

Basically anything about the economy. I was totally unaware of economical terms in general. Thanks to Bitcoin i've learned a lot. Back in the day I didn't even knew what FIAT money was, now I know its strenghts and weaknesses and how BTC has a legitimate role in there.

I still haven't bought, but I like the concept of the blockchain. It introduced to me the posibility to move value from A to B seamlessly, thats my main interest in Bitcoin.

Too much headache on gambling.

The most important one for me is the ability to make a transaction without the need of a third party or a middleman.  Low fees, fast transaction times, just being a secure place to put money no one else can access and the other features not currently being used that I'm not so familiar with.

So in paypal? Who is the middleman there?

Paypal in the middleman.
Say if I want to send you $100, I need to fund my account with credit card or bank transfer, and transfer my paypal balance to you. You can then withdraw your balance to your bank account.
The company can stop the balance transfer, revert the transfer or ban your account if it wants.

On the contrary, no one can stop me from sending you some bitcoin, and no one can seize my bitcoin in my wallet.

For me the greatest invention in Bitcoin is the decentralized transaction processing.
