#BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority, using blockchain technology to enable secure peer-to-peer transactions. Created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the name Satoshi Nakamoto, BTC allows users to send and receive funds globally with low fees and without intermediaries like banks. Its limited supply of 21 million coins makes it a scarce asset, often referred to as "digital gold." Bitcoin is widely used for investment, online purchases, and as a hedge against inflation. Its value fluctuates due to market demand and adoption.
