$BTC

$BTC, or Bitcoin, is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network without the need for a central authority, such as a bank or government. Bitcoin uses blockchain technology—a public, transparent ledger that records all transactions. Limited to a maximum supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its scarcity and value storage capability. It is widely used for online transactions, long-term investment, and as a hedge against inflation. Over time, Bitcoin has gained global acceptance, with increasing institutional adoption and legal recognition in some countries. Its value can be highly volatile, but it continues to play a crucial role in shaping the future of finance. $BTC symbolizes the shift toward decentralized finance and the growing demand for financial freedom and privacy.
