$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first cryptocurrency launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, and it is considered the cornerstone of the digital currency world. It relies on blockchain technology to secure transactions and record them in a transparent and decentralized manner. What distinguishes Bitcoin is its independence from banks and governments, granting users greater financial freedom. Bitcoin can be acquired either by purchasing it from trading platforms or through mining. Some consider it "digital gold" due to its scarcity, as its supply does not exceed 21 million units. Despite its price volatility, it is viewed as a promising investment asset and a store of value in the long term. Bitcoin has significantly impacted the global financial system and opened the door for thousands of other cryptocurrencies.
