$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most valuable cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, ensuring security, transparency, and immutability. Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it a scarce digital asset, often referred to as "digital gold."
BTC transactions are verified through mining, a process where miners use computational power to secure the network and earn Bitcoin as a reward. Bitcoin is widely used as a store of value, investment asset, and hedge against inflation, attracting both institutional and retail investors.
Its price is highly volatile, influenced by factors like market demand, adoption, regulations, and macroeconomic trends. Major events such as Bitcoin halvings, institutional adoption, and regulatory decisions can significantly impact its price. As the most dominant cryptocurrency, BTC continues to shape the future of digital finance.
