#$BTC BTC, or Bitcoin, is a decentralized digital currency, operating on a peer-to-peer network called a blockchain. This technology ensures secure, transparent, and immutable transactions without needing intermediaries like banks. Its value fluctuates based on supply and demand, making it a volatile asset. Bitcoin's finite supply, capped at 21 million coins, contributes to its scarcity and perceived value. It's used for online purchases, investment, and as a store of value, though its adoption varies globally. The underlying blockchain technology has also inspired numerous other cryptocurrencies and applications.
