$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency, commonly referred to as cryptocurrency, that was created in 2008 by an unknown individual or group of individuals using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, ensuring transparency, security, and immutability of transactions. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger known as the blockchain. One of Bitcoin's most defining features is its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a deflationary asset. Over the years, BTC has gained popularity as both a store of value and a speculative investment, drawing attention from individuals, institutions, and governments. Despite its volatility, Bitcoin has sparked the creation of thousands of other cryptocurrencies, revolutionizing the world of finance and investment. #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain
