Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is often considered digital gold due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, which helps protect it from inflation. It has gained global attention as both an investment asset and a potential future currency. Despite price volatility, Bitcoin continues to drive innovation in the financial sector and serves as a foundation for the broader crypto ecosystem.
