$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency, introduced in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, allowing for secure and transparent transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin's supply is limited to 21 million coins, which creates scarcity and can potentially increase its value over time. It's widely used as both a store of value and a medium of exchange, with growing acceptance by businesses and individuals. Its volatility makes it a high-risk investment. The rise of Bitcoin has sparked the creation of thousands of alternative cryptocurrencies, often referred to as altcoins. Bitcoin continues to shape the future of digital finance and the global economy. #Bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain
