$BTC

BTC is the abbreviation for Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency. Created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network powered by blockchain technology. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not controlled by any central authority, such as a government or bank. Instead, it relies on cryptographic principles to secure transactions and regulate the creation of new units through a process called mining. Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a popular store of value and hedge against inflation. Its decentralized nature, transparency, and potential for financial freedom have made it a revolutionary force in the global financial system. #bitcoin
