$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, introduced in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Built on blockchain technology, it allows peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is seen as a store of value, often compared to gold, and is widely regarded as a hedge against inflation. Its limited supply of 21 million coins adds to its scarcity and potential for long-term value appreciation. BTC's impact on the financial world has led to the rise of thousands of altcoins.
