Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most recognized cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Built on a decentralized blockchain, Bitcoin introduced the concept of peer-to-peer digital currency, removing the need for intermediaries like banks. Its fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it a deflationary asset, often compared to "digital gold." BTC is widely used as a store of value, hedge against inflation, and medium of exchange in certain markets. With increasing institutional interest and global adoption, Bitcoin has become a symbol of financial freedom and technological innovation. Despite its price volatility, BTC continues to lead the crypto market, driving change in global finance and challenging traditional monetary systems.$BTC
