$BTC
BTC, or Bitcoin, is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a central authority like banks. Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a valuable asset for investors. It is used for payments, investment, and as a hedge against inflation. Bitcoin's security is ensured through cryptographic technology and a proof-of-work consensus mechanism. #Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #Blockchain #DigitalGold
