Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It uses blockchain technology to ensure and verify transactions transparently and securely. Bitcoin has a limited supply of 21 million coins, making it scarce and, for some, a store of value against inflation.
However, it also faces challenges such as the high volatility of its price, significant energy consumption for its mining, and variable regulation in different countries.
Bitcoin is seen by many as a revolution in the financial system, allowing fast and accessible global transactions without the need for traditional intermediaries like banks or governments
