Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin operates without a central authority, relying on blockchain technology—a public, tamper-proof ledger that records all transactions. Bitcoin is mined using powerful computers to solve complex mathematical problems, securing the network and creating new coins. It has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary. Bitcoin is used for peer-to-peer transactions, investments, and as a hedge against inflation, often referred to as "digital gold" due to its scarcity and value.
