$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network without the need for intermediaries like banks or governments. Bitcoin transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. Its limited supply of 21 million coins makes it a scarce digital asset, often referred to as "digital gold." Over time, BTC has gained widespread adoption as both a store of value and a medium of exchange in the global financial ecosystem. #Bitcoin
