$BTC Bitcoin ($BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, enabling peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, making it a deflationary asset and often referred to as "digital gold." It is widely used for investment, trading, and as a hedge against inflation. Price volatility, regulatory developments, and adoption by institutions significantly impact its market behavior. As blockchain technology evolves, Bitcoin continues to play a leading role in the future of decentralized finance. #BTC
