$BTC

Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonymous person or team who outlined the technology in a 2008 white paper. It's an appealingly simple concept: bitcoin is digital money that allows for secure peer-to-peer transactions on the internet.Satoshi Nakamoto is the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, but he doesn't own the Bitcoin project. Nobody owns the Bitcoin project. Bitcoin is software run by a decentralized network, which means no single party is in control of the set of rules in the software.Billionaire Elon Musk is a huge fan of cutting-edge technology and is usually ahead of the curve when it comes to finance, but he's not a bitcoin bull. The co-founder of Tesla Inc. revealed on Twitter that he owns only a tiny fraction of one bitcoin token.
