$BTC

$BTC (Bitcoin) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, enabling peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a central authority.

As of mid-2025, Bitcoin is considered:

A store of value (often called "digital gold")

A hedge against inflation (though debated)

A speculative asset with high volatility

An integral part of the broader crypto ecosystem

Price trends are influenced by macroeconomic factors, institutional adoption, halving cycles (next expected in 2028), regulations, and global sentiment. Always research before investing.
