Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency, often referred to as a cryptocurrency, that was created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (fiat currencies), Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer network, enabling users to send and receive payments directly, without the need for intermediaries such as banks.
