"Bitcoin data structure" is a very misleading term.
Makes you sound like you are looking for a binary description of the blockchain structure and/or its messages and tx.

What you should call it is rather "Bitcoin characteristics" or something like that.

There is no "Bitcoin data structure". In fact, there is no such object as a "Bitcoin".

What you are talking about are multiple data structures, each one with different properties. There are the blockchain, blocks, transactions, and transaction outputs.

I'm trying to describe the Bitcoin data structure, so I want to name all the properties it has, so far I have these:

--> Pseudo-Anonymity

--> Replicated Database

--> Providence of Transactions

--> Distributed Consensus

--> Proof-of-Work

Am I missing any?

If you want to add one, or indicate a good resource where the properties of the Bitcoin data structure are demonstrated in a very clear way that would be excellent.
