$BTC Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency launched on the market, was created by Satoshi Nakamoto (pseudonym) in 2008 following the financial crisis that affected the world; this digital currency promoted a libertarian ideal and sought to challenge traditional monetary and financial institutions.

Known in the market world by the acronym BTC, bitcoin uses cryptography to ensure that its management is decentralized, meaning it cannot be regulated by any institution or banking entity, which in turn makes cryptocurrencies volatile.
