$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain network, allowing users to send and receive digital money without relying on intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins and its role as a store of value. It plays a central role in the crypto market and often influences the price movements of other digital assets.
