#TrumpAtDAS Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known 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 transparency and security without the need for a central authority. Bitcoin is often called "digital gold" because of its limited supply—only 21 million BTC will ever exist. It is used as both a digital currency and a store of value. Bitcoin’s influence extends beyond finance, sparking the development of thousands of other cryptocurrencies and driving the global adoption of blockchain technology.
