$BTC Bitcoin (BTC), the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, enabling peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins, making it a deflationary asset. Over the years, BTC has gained widespread adoption as both a store of value and a medium of exchange, often referred to as "digital gold." Its price is highly volatile, driven by factors like market demand, institutional adoption, and macroeconomic trends. Despite challenges, Bitcoin remains a cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem.
