BTC, or Bitcoin, is a decentralized digital currency that was created by an anonymous individual or group of individuals using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, meaning transactions are made directly between users without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin transactions are verified using blockchain technology, which is a secure, transparent, and immutable ledger of all transactions. Unlike traditional currencies, BTC is not issued or controlled by any central authority, such as a government, and has a limited supply of 21 million coins, which adds to its scarcity and value. Bitcoin is often used as a store of value, a medium of exchange, or a speculative investment. Its volatility, however, can make it a risky investment for some. Over the years, Bitcoin has gained significant popularity and is widely recognized as the first and most valuable cryptocurrency.
