$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to send and receive payments without intermediaries like banks. Introduced in 2009 by an anonymous figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin is based on blockchain technology, which ensures transparency and security through a distributed ledger. Its finite supply of 21 million coins contributes to its value proposition as a store of value. Over the years, Bitcoin has gained widespread attention, becoming both a speculative investment and a potential hedge against inflation. Its price is highly volatile, but its adoption continues to grow globally.
