#BTC110KToday?Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most popular cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network without any central authority. Bitcoin transactions are verified by miners through a process called proof-of-work and recorded on a public ledger known as the blockchain. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often viewed as “digital gold” and a hedge against inflation. It’s widely used for investment, trading, and as a store of value. Despite volatility, Bitcoin continues to gain adoption from individuals, institutions, and even some governments worldwide.
