$BTC is the ticker symbol for Bitcoin, the world's first and most well-known cryptocurrency. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, enabling peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is often seen as digital gold and a hedge against inflation due to its capped supply of 21 million coins. Its price is highly volatile but continues to attract investors, institutions, and even governments as a store of value and medium of exchange.
