BTC refers to Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency that uses cryptography for secure financial transactions. It was created in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin is based on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to send and receive Bitcoins without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain.
Some key features of Bitcoin include:
1. *Decentralization*: Bitcoin operates independently of central banks and governments.
2. *Limited supply*: The total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million.
3. *Security*: Bitcoin transactions are secured through advanced cryptography.
4. *Anonymity*: Bitcoin transactions can be made pseudonymously.
Bitcoin has gained popularity as a form of investment, payment, and store of value. However, its value can be highly volatile, and it's essential to understand the risks involved before investing or using Bitcoin for transactions.
