$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first decentralized cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network without central authority, using blockchain technology to secure transactions transparently. Bitcoin has a capped supply of 21 million coins, creating scarcity that supports its value proposition as “digital gold.” It is used for payments, a store of value, and as a hedge against inflation. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, influenced by global adoption, regulatory decisions, and macroeconomic conditions. Many investors view $BTC as a long-term investment, believing it will play a significant role in the future financial system.
