$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first digital currency created, launched by a person or group of people under the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" in 2009. Bitcoin is considered a revolution in the financial world, relying on blockchain technology, which ensures the security and transparency of transactions without the need for intermediaries such as banks.

Bitcoin is characterized as a decentralized currency, meaning it cannot be controlled by any government or financial institution. Over the years, Bitcoin has experienced significant fluctuations in its value, attracting the attention of both investors and speculators alike.

Bitcoin is used in a variety of applications, from international financial transfers to investment and commerce. As its acceptance by major companies, such as Tesla and Mastercard, increases, Bitcoin's popularity as a digital asset that retains its value is growing. However, challenges remain, such as regulatory issues and rapid volatility, making its future contentious.
