$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) is the first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto13. BTC operates on a peer-to-peer network that records transactions on a public blockchain24. Each bitcoin is divided into 100,000,000 parts called satoshis1. With a limited supply of 21,000,000, BTC serves as a store of value and enables global transactions without intermediaries, giving users control over their finances13. Its decentralized nature and open-source code promote transparency and security3. #BTC3
