$BTC BTC stands for Bitcoin, which is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency. Here's a quick breakdown of what it is:

What is Bitcoin (BTC)?

Digital Currency: Bitcoin is a form of money that exists only online. It allows people to send and receive money over the internet without needing a bank or payment service.

Decentralized: It runs on a peer-to-peer network, meaning no single entity (like a government or company) controls it.

Blockchain Technology: Every Bitcoin transaction is recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, which is secure and nearly impossible to alter.

Limited Supply: Only 21 million BTC will ever exist, making it deflationary. This scarcity is one reason people compare it to "digital gold."

Created in 2009: By a mysterious person (or group) under the name Satoshi Nakamoto.

Store of Value (like gold)
