Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain, a public ledger secured by a network of nodes and miners through a process called Proof of Work (PoW).

Bitcoin is often referred to as digital gold due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a hedge against inflation. It is widely used for peer-to-peer transactions, investment, and store of value.

BTC can be bought, sold, and stored in crypto wallets, and it is accepted by various businesses worldwide. Despite price volatility, Bitcoin remains the leading cryptocurrency, influencing the entire crypto market.
