$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority, using blockchain technology to record transactions securely and transparently. Launched in 2009 by an unknown person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin allows peer-to-peer transactions globally with minimal fees. It is limited to a total supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary by design. BTC is stored in digital wallets and can be used for payments or held as an investment. Its value is influenced by market demand, adoption, regulation, and macroeconomic trends. Bitcoin is often called “digital gold” due to its store-of-value properties.
