Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority or government. Launched in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin enables peer-to-peer transactions through a blockchain, which is a public ledger that records all transactions. Bitcoin's scarcity (capped at 21 million coins) and its secure, transparent nature have made it a popular asset for investment and a store of value. It is not controlled by any bank or government, and transactions are validated by a network of miners who use computational power to solve complex mathematical problems. Due to its volatility, Bitcoin has attracted both high-risk traders and long-term holders seeking to profit from its potential growth. As the first cryptocurrency, it has paved the way for thousands of other digital currencies and continues to impact the world of finance. #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain
