$BTC
Bitcoin is the first and most famous decentralized digital currency in the world. Since its creation in 2009, it has revolutionized the concept of money and payments. Bitcoin relies on blockchain technology, which is a distributed and secure digital ledger that makes transactions transparent and immutable without the need for a central intermediary like banks.
Bitcoin is characterized by its limited supply, as no more than 21 million units will ever be mined, which gives it a scarcity feature that some see as a long-term store of value, a potential alternative to gold. However, its high price volatility still poses a challenge to its widespread adoption as a means of daily payment. The future of Bitcoin remains uncertain, but its impact on the global financial system is undeniable.
