$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most dominant cryptocurrency, revolutionizing finance with its decentralized, peer-to-peer system. Created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, BTC operates on a blockchain, a secure and transparent ledger maintained by a global network of miners. It serves as both a store of value and a medium of exchange, often referred to as "digital gold." Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it deflationary, driving demand over time. Its price is influenced by market sentiment, institutional adoption, macroeconomic trends, and halving events. As the foundation of the crypto market, BTC continues to shape the future of digital finance.
