#BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, which ensures secure and transparent transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin's primary appeal lies in its scarcity, with a maximum supply of 21 million coins, and its resistance to censorship. Often seen as "digital gold," BTC is used both as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Its price is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, regulations, and broader economic factors.
