$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, introduced in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology to securely record transactions without a central authority. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often seen as a hedge against inflation and a store of value, similar to digital gold. It has sparked a global movement, influencing the development of thousands of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin can be used for online purchases, investments, and remittances. Its transparency, security, and limited supply contribute to its popularity and rising institutional adoption.
