(BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous creator known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network, using blockchain technology to securely record and verify transactions. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not controlled by any central authority, making it resistant to censorship and inflation. It has a limited supply of 21 million coins, which enhances its appeal as a store of value. Over the years, Bitcoin has gained significant attention as both an investment asset and a method of transferring value across borders. While its price is volatile, many consider it a revolutionary step in the evolution of money and financial systems, with growing acceptance around the world.
