#BitcoinBasics

Bitcoin is the first-ever cryptocurrency, introduced in 2009 by the mysterious creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike traditional money controlled by banks and governments, Bitcoin is decentralized and runs on blockchain technology, which is a public digital ledger. Every transaction is verified by thousands of computers worldwide, making it transparent and nearly impossible to fake. With a maximum supply of only 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often called "digital gold." It represents freedom, security, and a new way of transferring value globally without middlemen.
