$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority or government. Created in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin allows peer-to-peer transactions on a secure blockchain network. The blockchain is a public ledger that records all transactions transparently and immutably. Bitcoin is limited to a supply of 21 million coins, contributing to its scarcity and appeal as a store of value. It is often viewed as “digital gold” and is used for investment, payment, and remittance. Bitcoin's price is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, regulation, and global economic trends.
