BTC stands for Bitcoin, which is a decentralized digital currency. It was created in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer network, meaning transactions are made directly between users without the need for an intermediary, such as a bank.

Bitcoin uses a technology called blockchain to record transactions securely and transparently. It is often referred to as a cryptocurrency because it relies on cryptography for securing transactions and controlling the creation of new units.

BTC is used as both a store of value (like digital gold) and a medium of exchange, though its volatility has led to debate about its use in day-to-day transactions.
