#CreatorPad Bitcoin (BTC) is 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 using blockchain technology, allowing secure and transparent transactions without the need for a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin has a limited supply of 21 million coins, making it scarce and often compared to digital gold. It’s used for investment, remittances, and as a hedge against inflation. Over the years, Bitcoin has seen massive price volatility but remains the most valuable and widely adopted cryptocurrency in the world.
