$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to transfer funds directly without relying on intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin transactions are verified through a process called mining, where powerful computers solve complex mathematical puzzles. Its underlying technology, blockchain, ensures transparency and security by recording all transactions in a public ledger. Bitcoin has gained widespread attention for its potential as both a store of value and a speculative investment. However, it also faces volatility, regulatory scrutiny, and scalability challenges. Despite these concerns, Bitcoin remains a prominent cryptocurrency with growing acceptance in global markets.
