#X超级应用转型 **Bitcoin (BTC)** is a decentralized cryptocurrency introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. It is based on blockchain technology and issued through a 'mining' mechanism, with a fixed total supply of 21 million coins, featuring scarcity and tamper-resistance. Bitcoin does not require support from central banks or financial institutions, allowing users to conduct peer-to-peer transactions directly. Due to its transparency, resistance to censorship, and traceability, it is regarded as 'digital gold' and is highly favored by investors. Bitcoin's price is highly volatile, presenting both risks and rewards, and it is controversial due to issues related to money laundering and regulation, yet it has become a core asset of the crypto economy.
