$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for banks or intermediaries. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, making it a deflationary asset and a popular store of value, often referred to as "digital gold." Transactions are verified by miners using a proof-of-work system, ensuring security and transparency. BTC has sparked a financial revolution, influencing the rise of thousands of cryptocurrencies and reshaping how we think about money and decentralized finance.
