$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain, using a proof-of-work consensus mechanism where miners validate transactions. Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold” due to its limited supply of 21 million coins. It has gained mainstream adoption as a store of value, investment asset, and, in some cases, a medium of exchange. While BTC is known for its volatility, it has consistently grown in value over time. Regulatory developments, institutional adoption, and market sentiment continue to shape Bitcoin’s future.
