$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Operating on blockchain technology, Bitcoin enables peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, BTC is designed to be deflationary, making it a popular hedge against inflation. Its decentralized nature ensures censorship resistance and security. Bitcoin has evolved from an experimental digital cash system to a globally recognized asset, attracting investors, institutions, and governments. Despite price volatility, BTC remains the dominant cryptocurrency, often referred to as "digital gold" due to its store-of-value properties and growing adoption in traditional finance.
