#BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to send and receive payments without needing a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, which is secured by cryptography and maintained by miners. It has a limited supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary by nature. Bitcoin is often seen as digital gold and a hedge against inflation. Many investors use it for long-term holding or trading.
