$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most prominent cryptocurrency, introduced in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network that allows peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. With a limited supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often likened to “digital gold,” valued for its scarcity and resistance to inflation. Over the years, it has gained significant traction as both a speculative investment and a hedge against economic uncertainty. Despite price volatility and regulatory scrutiny, Bitcoin continues to be a transformative force in global finance, sparking widespread innovation across decentralized finance (DeFi), blockchain applications, and digital asset infrastructure.
