$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC), the first decentralized cryptocurrency, was created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Operating on a peer-to-peer blockchain, it enables secure, transparent transactions without intermediaries. BTC’s fixed supply of 21 million coins, enforced by code, makes it a deflationary asset, often dubbed "digital gold." Miners validate transactions, earning rewards, though mining difficulty and energy use spark debate. Bitcoin’s price is volatile, driven by market sentiment, adoption, and macroeconomic factors. It’s used for payments, remittances, and as a store of value. Despite regulatory scrutiny, BTC’s resilience and growing institutional interest highlight its potential to reshape finance, challenging traditional systems.
