$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology, which ensures transparency and security without the need for a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" because of its limited supply—only 21 million BTC will ever exist. It has become a popular asset for both investors and traders due to its potential for high returns and as a hedge against inflation. As adoption grows, Bitcoin continues to play a key role in shaping the future of finance.
