$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency. It was created in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin runs on a decentralized network called the blockchain, which records every transaction transparently and securely. Unlike traditional money, BTC isn’t controlled by any government or bank. People can use Bitcoin to buy goods, invest, or transfer money globally. Its limited supply—only 21 million coins—makes it valuable over time. Bitcoin’s price can be very volatile, influenced by market demand, regulations, and investor sentiment. It’s a key part of the evolving digital economy.
