$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, allowing for secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions without a central authority. Bitcoin is often referred to as digital gold due to its limited supply of 21 million coins and its role as a store of value. Its price is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, macroeconomic factors, and regulatory news. Bitcoin has sparked a global financial revolution, driving the development of thousands of other cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based innovations.
