Why was Bitcoin created in the first place?

In hindsight one can say the following factors probably contributed towards its creation:

• Anonymity (from a Payments perspective, not having to share your personal details, etc.)
• Global Payment. Pay anyone, anywhere, anytime. 24/7.
• Micropayments
• Nanopayments - Want to pay 0.0001 cents? Bitcoin can do it.
• Consensus Framework - which was missing out on earlier attempts at digital money.
• Distributed.
• No central authority. Let the enthusiasts run it.
• Free.
• Create a value-transfer system that rides on the internet packet.
• Solve the double-spend problem.
• Transparent (open-ledger)
• Lower fees (nearly free)
• No chargebacks
• Accessible to all. No discrimination on country wealth or infrastructure, etc. If you have access to the Internet, you have access to Bitcoins.
