$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that allows for peer-to-peer transactions over the internet without the need for intermediaries like banks. Created in 2008 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin operates on a technology called blockchain, which ensures transparency and security by recording all transactions across a distributed ledger. Bitcoin transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and are added to the blockchain, making it resistant to fraud and manipulation. BTC can be used for a range of purposes, from online purchases to investment opportunities. Its value fluctuates based on market demand, and its finite supply (capped at 21 million coins) has led to its status as a store of value and a potential hedge against inflation. Despite its volatility, Bitcoin has grown in popularity, attracting both individual investors and institutional players. #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain
