I think it's censorship resistant and permissionless properties make it pretty impressive.

I don't think its cencorship resistence is that impressive. The amount of data you can publish is pretty limited, which is a key property of cencorship resistence.
There are other blockchains with more available space than Bitcoin, such as Bitcoin Cash.
Is it censorship resistant? Couldn't state easily enough attack it at any sufficiently large point it contacts with real economy? They degree certain wallets being tainted. And then promise to jail anyone who deals with coins from these, receive them and transmit on to anywhere but government controlled wallets and face jail time? For one scenario, or just tell exchanges or like to confiscate any coins coming from certain addresses...
Sanction resistant too.
