BTC THE FUTURE OF CRYPTO

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency created in 2009.

* Decentralized: No central bank or administrator controls it.

* Blockchain: Transactions are recorded on a public, secure, and unchangeable digital ledger.

* Limited Supply: Only 21 million Bitcoins will ever exist, similar to precious metals.

* Security: Uses strong cryptography for secure transactions.

* Pseudonymous: Transactions are public, but identities are linked to wallet addresses, not names.

How it works: Transactions are verified by "miners" and added to the blockchain.

Uses: Seen as a medium of exchange by some, and a potential "store of value" or "digital gold" by others due to its scarcity.

How to get it: Primarily bought on cryptocurrency exchanges.

Risks:

* High Volatility: Price can change dramatically and quickly.

* Regulatory Uncertainty: Rules are still developing.

* Security Risks: Exchanges and wallets can be targeted by hackers.

* Irreversible Transactions: Mistakes are hard to fix.

* Lack of Protection: Fewer consumer protections than traditional investments.
