#CryptoIntegration Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, launched in 2009 by the anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. It runs on blockchain technology, a public ledger that records all transactions securely and transparently. Unlike traditional money, Bitcoin is not controlled by any government or bank, making it borderless and censorship-resistant. Users can send and receive BTC peer-to-peer with low fees compared to traditional systems. Its limited supply of 21 million coins creates scarcity, often compared to digital gold. Bitcoin is widely used for investment, payments, and as a hedge against inflation, driving global interest and adoption in finance.
