Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, using a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, where miners validate transactions and secure the network. Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it scarce and resistant to inflation. It is often called "digital gold" due to its store of value properties. Transactions are verified through cryptographic algorithms and recorded on a public ledger. BTC can be used for payments, investment, and remittances. Despite volatility, Bitcoin has gained global adoption as an alternative financial system, with growing institutional interest and legal recognition in several countries.
