$BTC #BTC Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency created in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer network without the need for intermediaries like banks. It uses blockchain technology, a secure, transparent, and immutable ledger, to record all transactions. Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, which creates scarcity and can drive its value. Over the years, BTC has gained significant popularity as both a store of value and a speculative investment. It has influenced the development of thousands of other cryptocurrencies and remains one of the most well-known and widely used in the crypto space.
