$BTC Bitcoin (BTC), the world's first and most popular cryptocurrency, continues to play a major role in the global financial landscape. Launched in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin introduced the concept of decentralized digital currency. It operates on blockchain technology, ensuring transparency and security without the need for central banks. Over the years, Bitcoin has gained mainstream adoption as both a store of value and a hedge against inflation. Despite its volatility, investors and institutions are increasingly viewing BTC as “digital gold.” With growing regulatory interest and wider acceptance, Bitcoin remains a key driver in the evolution of financial systems.
