Opinion: Bitcoin (BTC) – A Digital Asset that Remains the Cornerstone of the Crypto Ecosystem

Bitcoin ($BTC ) continues to maintain its position as a decentralized crypto asset with the most secure and tested blockchain network for 15 years. As a "digital store of value," BTC attracts the interest of long-term investors due to its limited supply (21 million coins) and resilience to inflation. Institutional adoption through Bitcoin ETFs and integration by large companies strengthens its legitimacy, although price volatility remains a challenge. Innovations like the Lightning Network enhance daily transaction utility, while environmental issues related to mining are beginning to be addressed with renewable energy. BTC remains a key benchmark in the transformation of the global financial system, despite increasing competition among digital assets.
