#BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency created in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network without the need for intermediaries like banks. Transactions are verified through cryptography and recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. Bitcoin is limited to a supply of 21 million coins, which makes it deflationary. It can be used for online purchases, investments, and transfers. Bitcoin's decentralized nature and limited supply have made it a popular asset for investors, although it remains volatile and controversial due to regulatory concerns.
