$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is the world's first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency, created by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. It operates on a decentralized blockchain, ensuring transparency, security, and immutability. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not controlled by any central authority, making it a popular choice for investors and businesses. Its supply is limited to 21 million coins, driving its value through scarcity. Bitcoin is used for transactions, investments, and as a store of value, often referred to as "digital gold." Regulatory developments, adoption trends, and macroeconomic factors significantly influence Bitcoin's price and market behavior.
