$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain, enabling peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often viewed as “digital gold” due to its scarcity and store-of-value potential. Its price is highly volatile, influenced by market sentiment, regulation, macroeconomic factors, and adoption trends. Bitcoin is traded globally on crypto exchanges and is accepted by some merchants and institutions. Whether for investment, speculation, or hedging against inflation, $BTC continues to lead the cryptocurrency market as its flagship asset.
