Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group of people known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to send and receive payments without the need for a central authority, like a bank. Bitcoin transactions are secured through cryptography and recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. Over the years, Bitcoin has gained widespread recognition as both a store of value and a potential investment asset. Its value can be highly volatile, attracting both enthusiasts and critics. #Bitcoin #Crypto #Blockchain #BTC #DigitalCurrency
