$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most popular decentralized digital currency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous person known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It is based on blockchain technology, which allows transactions to be recorded transparently and securely without the need for a central intermediary. Bitcoin is considered a store of value and a hedge against inflation, making it attractive to investors and companies. It is mined via the Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm, which ensures its scarcity with a maximum of 21 million coins. Despite its price fluctuations, it is increasingly being adopted globally as a means of payment and investment, with major companies and governments adopting it. The future of Bitcoin is linked to regulations and its development as a global financial asset.
