$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, which records all transactions transparently and securely. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not controlled by any government or central bank. It has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary by design. Bitcoin is often seen as “digital gold” due to its scarcity and potential as a store of value. Over time, it has gained popularity as both an investment asset and a tool for financial freedom.
