$BTC

Bitcoin lets people send and receive money directly (peer-to-peer) without needing a middleman.

⸻

Here are the core reasons why this is so significant:

🔐 1. Decentralization

• No single entity controls the Bitcoin network.

• Transactions are verified by a network of computers (nodes) through blockchain technology.

💰 2. Limited Supply

• There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins, making it scarce like digital gold.

• This fixed supply helps protect against inflation.

🧾 3. Transparency and Security

• All Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger (the blockchain).

• It is nearly impossible to alter past transactions, making it secure and tamper-resistant.

🌍 4. Global and Permissionless

• Anyone with internet access can use Bitcoin.

• No need to ask for approval from banks or governments.

🕒 5. Borderless and Fast (in theory)

• Enables fast and low-cost international transfers, especially useful in countries with weak banking systems or inflation-prone currencies.
