$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the mysterious figure Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, allowing users to send and receive value without relying on a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins and its potential to store value. It's widely used for investment, trading, and as a hedge against inflation. Despite price volatility, Bitcoin continues to influence global finance, inspiring innovation across the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry.
