$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the anonymous figure Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is secured through a process called mining, where powerful computers solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and earn rewards. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often seen as "digital gold" and a hedge against inflation. It has sparked a global financial revolution, influencing the rise of thousands of other cryptocurrencies. Today, Bitcoin plays a central role in both retail and institutional digital asset strategies.
