$BTC

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that allows for peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Created in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network of computers that record transactions on a public ledger called the blockchain. With a limited supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin has gained popularity as a store of value and a medium of exchange, with its value fluctuating wildly over the years due to market speculation and adoption. Despite its volatility, Bitcoin has become a widely recognized and accepted form of currency, with many businesses, institutions, and individuals investing in and using it for various purposes.
