$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most famous decentralized cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by a person or group using the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto." Bitcoin relies on blockchain technology, which is a distributed digital ledger that records all transactions transparently and immutably. Bitcoin is not subject to any central authority, such as governments or banks, making it resistant to censorship and control.

Bitcoin is used as a means of payment, an investment tool, and a store of value, and it is sometimes viewed as "digital gold." It can be obtained through mining or purchased from trading platforms. Its high price volatility attracts investors, but it carries significant risks. Bitcoin has contributed to the launch of a digital currency revolution and changed the concept of money globally.
