$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that was introduced in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates without a central authority, relying on blockchain technology to maintain a secure and transparent public ledger. Bitcoin transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded on the blockchain. As the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has gained popularity as both a form of payment and an investment asset. Its limited supply of 21 million coins makes it deflationary, attracting investors seeking a hedge against inflation. Bitcoin has influenced the development of thousands of other cryptocurrencies and continues to play a major role in shaping the future of finance and digital innovation worldwide.
