Bitcoin (Bitcoin - $BTC )
As you know: it is the first and most famous digital currency launched in 2009 by an unknown person known as "Satoshi Nakamoto". Bitcoin relies on a decentralized *blockchain* network, making it resistant to manipulation. It is often seen as a safe haven from inflation and market fluctuations, and it is also used as a means for international financial transfers.
And among Bitcoin's core projects:
- **Lightning Network**: Aims to speed up transactions on the Bitcoin network and reduce fees, making it more usable for everyday small payments.
- **Taproot**: An update to the protocol that improves privacy and provides additional features for developers, making transactions more secure.
