$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for banks or intermediaries. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, making it a scarce digital asset often compared to gold. It is used as a store of value, investment, and increasingly as a form of payment. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile but has gained global attention as a hedge against inflation and economic instability. Its adoption continues to grow across institutions, investors, and nations.
