Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain, a public ledger that records all transactions. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin isn’t controlled by any government or central bank. It’s limited to 21 million coins, making it deflationary. People use Bitcoin for peer-to-peer payments, investment, and as a hedge against inflation. Its price is highly volatile, driven by supply, demand, regulation, and market sentiment. Bitcoin mining secures the network and validates transactions. As digital gold, Bitcoin continues to shape the future of finance and decentralized systems.
