Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized network called blockchain, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold” due to its limited supply of 21 million coins, making it a potential hedge against inflation. It has gained global popularity as both an investment asset and a form of digital money. BTC’s price is highly volatile, influenced by market sentiment, adoption, regulations, and macroeconomic factors, yet it continues to attract widespread interest.
