Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that enables peer-to-peer transactions over the internet without the need for intermediaries like banks. Launched in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin operates on a technology called blockchain, which records all transactions transparently and securely. Each transaction is verified by network nodes through cryptography and added to a public ledger. Bitcoin is often referred to as digital gold due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a store of value. Its popularity has led to a growing ecosystem of exchanges and wallets.
