$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most valuable cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain, using proof-of-work (PoW) for security.
BTC is often called digital gold because of its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a hedge against inflation. It enables peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks, ensuring lower fees and faster transfers.
Bitcoin is widely used for investments, payments, and store of value, influencing the entire crypto market. Its price is highly volatile, driven by demand, regulations, and macroeconomic trends. BTC remains the leading cryptocurrency, shaping the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain technology.
