$BTC
(BTC) is the world’s first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency. Launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, BTC operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network powered by blockchain technology. It allows users to send and receive digital money without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, making it a deflationary asset. It is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its store-of-value potential. BTC is used for investment, payments, and as a hedge against inflation. Its transparency, security, and decentralization make it a foundational asset in the crypto world.
