$BTC Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, continues to play a leading role in the digital asset market. Created in 2009 by an anonymous figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries. Its limited supply of 21 million coins contributes to its value, often likened to "digital gold." Bitcoin has faced both volatility and growth, attracting investors, tech enthusiasts, and financial institutions alike. It is widely used for investment, remittances, and as a hedge against inflation. Despite regulatory uncertainties and market swings, Bitcoin remains a cornerstone of the evolving cryptocurrency landscape, influencing the development of other digital assets and blockchain technology.
