#BTCvsMarkets Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority, using blockchain technology to ensure secure and transparent transactions. Created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin introduced the concept of a peer-to-peer financial system. It allows users to send and receive money globally with minimal fees and no need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin’s supply is limited to 21 million coins, which contributes to its scarcity and value. It’s widely regarded as “digital gold” and is often used as a hedge against inflation. Despite volatility, Bitcoin remains a foundational asset in the cryptocurrency market.
