Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, which ensures transparency and security without needing a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a store of value for many investors. People can use it for online transactions or hold it as an investment. Its price is highly volatile, influenced by demand, news, and market trends. As interest in digital assets grows, Bitcoin continues to play a central role in the evolving world of finance and technology.
