$BTC or Bitcoin, is the original and most recognized cryptocurrency, often called “digital gold.” Launched in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, it introduced a decentralized, peer-to-peer system for transferring value without banks. Powered by blockchain technology, $BTC is limited to 21 million coins, making it a deflationary asset. It’s used as a store of value, a hedge against inflation, and increasingly accepted for payments. Despite market volatility, Bitcoin remains the foundation of the crypto world, influencing policy, innovation, and investor sentiment globally. As adoption grows, $BTC continues to shape the future of money and challenge traditional financial systems.
