Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s first cryptocurrency, remains the most influential digital asset in the market. Created in 2009 by an anonymous figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin introduced blockchain technology, offering a decentralized, secure, and transparent digital currency.
BTC operates on a peer-to-peer network without the need for a central authority. Transactions are verified by miners through a process called proof-of-work, ensuring security and immutability. Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it a deflationary asset, often referred to as "digital gold."
Over the years, Bitcoin has experienced significant price fluctuations, from mere cents to reaching all-time highs above $60,000. It has become a popular choice for both retail and institutional investors, serving as a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a hedge against inflation.
Despite volatility, Bitcoin’s adoption continues to grow globally, with an expanding ecosystem of users, merchants, and financial institutions embracing BTC.
