$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency created in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network without the need for intermediaries like banks. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, ensuring transparency and security. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, which adds scarcity to its value. It can be used for various purposes, such as online purchases, investments, or transferring funds globally. Bitcoin's value is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, investor sentiment, and regulatory news. Over the years, it has gained mainstream recognition as a store of value, often referred to as "digital gold."
