$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most valuable cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for banks. Bitcoin is often called "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins and use as a store of value. Investors and traders use it for hedging against inflation and economic uncertainty. Recently, institutional interest and political support—especially in the U.S.—have pushed Bitcoin further into the mainstream. As adoption grows globally, Bitcoin continues to shape the future of finance and challenge traditional monetary systems.
