$BTC
Bitcoin ($BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain network, allowing secure and transparent transactions without intermediaries. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, which makes it scarce and often referred to as “digital gold.” It has gained widespread adoption as both a store of value and a speculative investment. $BTC’s price is influenced by factors like supply and demand, macroeconomic trends, institutional adoption, and regulatory developments. Despite volatility, it remains a key driver in the global cryptocurrency market.
