#BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most popular cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the mysterious figure Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain network without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin’s supply is limited to 21 million coins, making it a deflationary digital asset. It is often viewed as "digital gold" due to its role as a store of value and hedge against inflation. BTC is widely used for trading, investing, and payments, with increasing adoption by institutions and retailers. Its price is influenced by market demand, macroeconomic trends, and regulatory developments.
