$BTC
Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first and most famous decentralized digital currency in the world, launched in 2009 by a person or group known as "Satoshi Nakamoto". It relies on blockchain technology, where all transactions are recorded transparently and securely without the need for a financial intermediary. Bitcoin has a limited supply of only 21 million coins, making it a store of value for many, and it is often compared to digital gold. Its price experiences significant fluctuations due to supply and demand, as well as global economic policies. It is used for international transfers, as an investment medium, and sometimes for payments. With the increasing adoption by companies and financial institutions, it is expected to continue influencing the future of money and the digital economy.
