Bitcoin in 120 words:
Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency in the world, launched in 2009 by "Satoshi Nakamoto." It operates on a blockchain network that records all transactions transparently and securely without the intervention of intermediaries like banks. The number of bitcoins is limited to 21 million units, making it a rare and anti-inflation asset. It is used as a means of saving, investing, and transferring money globally quickly and at low cost. Its price fluctuations are sharp, and it can lead to huge profits or substantial losses. Some countries allow it while others ban it, with El Salvador officially adopting it. It is viewed as "digital gold" for its status as a store of value in the digital economy. Despite the risks, it continues to attract investors and institutions seeking alternatives to the traditional financial system.
