$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network without the need for a central authority, using blockchain technology to secure and verify transactions. Bitcoin is limited to a maximum supply of 21 million coins, which helps protect against inflation. It is used for both investment and transactions, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its value storage properties. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, adoption, regulations, and macroeconomic trends across the globe
