$BTC is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is secured through cryptography and a process called mining, where powerful computers validate transactions. Its limited supply of 21 million coins makes it a scarce asset, often compared to digital gold. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, influenced by demand, regulations, and market trends. Many see it as a hedge against inflation and a revolutionary step toward financial decentralization
