$BTC BTC refers to Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency. Here are the basics:
Launched in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto.
Decentralized and peer-to-peer, meaning it doesn’t rely on banks or governments.
Capped supply: Only 21 million BTC will ever exist, making it deflationary.
Often seen as "digital gold" because it's used as a store of value.
Runs on the Bitcoin blockchain, a secure, public ledger.
Bitcoin is more volatile than stablecoins like USDC, but it's also widely used for investment, remittances, and as a hedge against inflation.
