$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most recognized cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network, enabling borderless transactions without intermediaries like banks. Limited to 21 million coins, Bitcoin’s scarcity drives its value and appeal. Often dubbed “digital gold,” BTC is seen as a hedge against inflation and a store of value. Its volatility, however, remains high, attracting traders and long-term believers alike. Over the years, BTC has evolved from a niche tech experiment to a global financial force. Institutional adoption, government scrutiny, and technological upgrades like the Lightning Network continue shaping its future. Whether revolution or risk, BTC’s influence on finance is undeniable.
