$BTC or Bitcoin is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency in the world, created in 2009 by an anonymous developer under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin operates on the basis of blockchain — a decentralized network that allows for secure transfer of value directly between users without the involvement of banks or other intermediaries.

The limited supply — a total of 21 million coins — makes $BTC a scarce asset, which is compared to digital gold. It is widely used as a means of saving, investment, and also for international transfers.

In 2025, $BTC is trading around the mark of $96,000 and remains the main benchmark for the entire cryptocurrency market. Large companies, investment funds, and even governments are showing interest in Bitcoin, which enhances its status as a reliable and long-term asset.

Bitcoin is not just a digital currency — it is a symbol of financial independence and a new era of decentralized finance.
