$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) coins are the digital units of Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency that operates on a decentralized network called the blockchain. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, Bitcoin coins are not physical, but are represented and transferred as digital assets.

Key points about Bitcoin coins include:

Total Supply: Bitcoin has a fixed supply limit of 21 million coins. This scarcity is built into its code, making it resistant to inflation over time. As of now, more than 19 million BTC have been mined, and the remaining coins will be mined gradually over the coming years, with the last one expected to be mined around 2140.

Mining: Bitcoin coins are created through a process called "mining," where powerful computers solve complex mathematical puzzles to verify transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain. Miners are rewarded with newly created BTC coins for their efforts.

Ownership: Bitcoin coins are stored in digital wallets. Each wallet is associated with a private key, which allows the owner to sign transactions and prove ownership of the coins.

Transactions: BTC coins can be transferred between wallets, used to purchase goods and services, or traded for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies. Transactions are typically processed on the Bitcoin network, which is decentralized and operates without a central authority.

Divisibility: A single Bitcoin can be divided into smaller units called satoshis. One Bitcoin (1 BTC) is equivalent to 100 million satoshis, making it highly divisible for smaller transactions.
