Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous entity, Satoshi Nakamoto. Operating on a peer-to-peer blockchain, it enables secure, transparent transactions without intermediaries. BTC’s supply is capped at 21 million, with mining releasing new coins and verifying transactions. Its value, driven by market demand, has seen extreme volatility, peaking at nearly $103,000 in 2024. Bitcoin serves as a store of value, hedge against inflation, and medium for cross-border payments. Despite regulatory scrutiny and environmental concerns over mining energy use, BTC’s adoption grows, influencing global finance and sparking thousands of cryptocurrencies.
