Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency introduced in 2009 by an anonymous entity using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a blockchain, a distributed ledger technology that ensures transparency and security. Bitcoin transactions are verified by a network of computers (miners) through a process called mining, which involves solving complex mathematical problems. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not controlled by any government or central authority, making it resistant to censorship. Its limited supply of 21 million coins adds to its value, attracting investors and users worldwide. Bitcoin is widely used for payments, trading, and as a store of value.
