$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority or bank. Created in 2009 by an anonymous figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto, it uses blockchain technology to ensure secure and transparent transactions. Bitcoin is limited in supply, capped at 21 million coins, making it resistant to inflation. It can be used for peer-to-peer payments or held as a form of investment, often seen as “digital gold.” Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, adoption rates, and global economic trends. Its popularity has driven interest in cryptocurrencies and reshaped the conversation around money and finance.
