$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first and largest decentralized digital currency, operating on a peer-to-peer network without central authority. Created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008, it uses blockchain technology to record transactions securely and transparently.

Often referred to as "digital gold," Bitcoin's finite supply (capped at 21 million coins) and halving events contribute to its scarcity and appeal as a store of value. Its price is highly volatile, influenced by market sentiment, regulatory developments, institutional adoption, and macroeconomic factors. While predictions vary, many analysts forecast continued growth for BTC in the coming years, potentially reaching well over $100,000.
