$BTC
BTC stands for Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network without the need for a central authority like a bank. BTC uses blockchain technology to record transactions transparently and securely. It’s often called “digital gold” because of its limited supply (only 21 million will ever exist) and its value as a store of wealth. Bitcoin has become a symbol of financial independence, innovation, and resistance to traditional financial systems.
