#BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a peer-to-peer network without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, ensuring transparency and security. BTC is mined using a process called proof-of-work, where powerful computers solve complex mathematical problems. Due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often considered "digital gold" and a hedge against inflation. It is widely used for investment, payments, and as a store of value.
