$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is a virtual currency that operates through the decentralized Bitcoin network, meaning no government or financial institution controls it. All transactions are stored on a public ledger called the Bitcoin blockchain, which serves as a transparent, accessible database.The goal was to create a decentralized digital currency free from the control of governments and central banks. Unlike conventional currencies, Bitcoin functions on a peer-to-peer network, which means that transactions happen directly between users — without a middleman such as a bank.This blockchain technology is immutable, which means no entity can erase or alter any information on the network. Transactions on Bitcoin are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in blockchain (which is essentially a public ledger). Immutability makes the network reliable and trustworthy.
