Fitting title, with one asterisk: Bitcoin finality is probabilistic rather than absolute. The six confirmation convention comes from the whitepaper's gambler's ruin math, where an attacker tries to catch up from z blocks behind. At six blocks, roughly an hour, a double-spend drops below 0.1% even against a large hashrate share.
