$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is often seen as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a hedge against inflation. Over the years, it has gained widespread adoption and attention from investors, institutions, and governments. While highly volatile, Bitcoin continues to influence the global financial system and drive innovation in decentralized finance (DeFi) and digital asset markets. Its impact is only growing stronger.
