$BTC
Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first digital currency ever created, launched by an individual or group of individuals under the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" in 2009. Bitcoin is considered a revolution in the world of finance, relying on blockchain technology, which ensures the security and transparency of transactions without the need for intermediaries like 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 trading. With its increasing acceptance by major companies, such as Tesla and MasterCard, 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 a subject of controversy.
