$BTC 🕹️Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most valuable cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain network, allowing users to send and receive digital money without intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, creating scarcity and often being referred to as “digital gold.” It’s used for investment, payments, and as a hedge against inflation. BTC’s price is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, regulation, and macroeconomic trends. As adoption grows globally, Bitcoin continues to shape the future of finance, offering both opportunity and risk to investors.
