$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the mysterious figure Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for banks. Bitcoin is often seen as digital gold due to its limited supply of 21 million coins. It is secured by a process called mining, where powerful computers validate transactions. BTC is used for trading, investing, and as a hedge against inflation. Its value is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, regulations, and global events. Bitcoin symbolizes financial independence and the future of decentralized finance.
