$BTC
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that was invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It was introduced as an open-source software in 2009 and has since revolutionized the financial world by enabling peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin operates on a blockchain, a distributed ledger that records all transactions across a network of computers, ensuring transparency and security. It is limited to a supply of 21 million coins, making it a deflationary asset. Over time, Bitcoin has gained popularity as both a means of exchange and a store of value, often referred to as "digital gold." Its price is known for high volatility, influenced by demand, investor sentiment, regulatory news, and macroeconomic factors. Despite criticism over energy consumption and regulatory concerns, Bitcoin continues to attract both institutional and retail investors, playing a significant role in the evolution of digital finance and the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
