Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, introduced in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network, allowing users to send and receive digital currency without relying on a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, which ensures transparency and prevents double-spending. It has a limited supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary by design. Bitcoin is often seen as "digital gold" due to its store of value potential. Despite price volatility, it has gained global attention as both a speculative investment and a means of transferring wealth securely and efficiently across borders.
