$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority, like a government or bank. Launched in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin relies on a peer-to-peer network to enable secure, transparent transactions through blockchain technology. The blockchain acts as a public ledger, recording all transactions and ensuring they cannot be altered once confirmed. Bitcoin is often seen as an alternative investment, with many treating it as "digital gold" due to its potential for value appreciation. Its volatility, however, makes it both a risky and exciting asset. Bitcoin has sparked the rise of other cryptocurrencies, fostering a global interest in decentralized finance (DeFi). Its impact on global finance continues to grow, with increasing adoption by individuals, businesses, and even governments. #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain
