#CreatorPad Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the anonymous figure Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology to ensure transparency and prevent double-spending. Bitcoin enables users to transfer value without relying on banks or intermediaries. Its supply is limited to 21 million coins, making it deflationary by nature. BTC is often considered “digital gold” due to its store of value properties. It is widely used for investment, trading, and in some cases, payments. Bitcoin has significantly influenced the development of the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.
