$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. It’s a decentralized digital currency that allows peer-to-peer transactions without banks or governments. Bitcoin runs on blockchain technology, a public ledger where all transactions are recorded and verified by miners using powerful computers. With a limited supply of 21 million coins, BTC is often seen as “digital gold” and a hedge against inflation. It’s used for investment, online payments, and store of value. Despite volatility, Bitcoin has sparked a global financial revolution, challenging traditional money and reshaping how we think about currency.
