$BTC Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first decentralized digital currency launched in 2009 by an unknown person named Satoshi Nakamoto. It relies on blockchain technology, which ensures the security and transparency of transactions without the need for an intermediary. Bitcoin is considered "digital gold" due to its limited supply (only 21 million coins), which enhances its value as a store of wealth. Investors use it as a hedge against inflation, while it is gradually accepted as a means of payment by some companies. Its price experiences sharp fluctuations, attracting traders and speculators. The future of Bitcoin depends on regulations, institutional adoption, and technological developments. It remains a symbol of financial freedom and a revolution in the world of digital economy.
