$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a peer-to-peer network without a central authority like a bank or government. Launched in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin introduced the concept of blockchain technology, which records all transactions in a transparent and secure manner. Transactions are verified by network participants called miners, who use computational power to solve complex cryptographic puzzles. Bitcoin has gained global popularity as both a store of value and a speculative investment. Its limited supply of 21 million coins, combined with growing institutional interest and increasing adoption, has contributed to its price volatility and widespread recognition. Despite facing regulatory challenges and concerns over its environmental impact due to energy consumption for mining, Bitcoin remains one of the most valuable and influential cryptocurrencies in the world. Its decentralized nature appeals to those seeking financial sovereignty, and it continues to shape the future of digital finance.
