#AltcoinSeasonLoading Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It allows peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin operates on blockchain technology, a secure and transparent ledger system. Its supply is limited to 21 million coins, which makes it deflationary in nature. Bitcoin is often seen as a store of value and digital gold. It has sparked the rise of thousands of other cryptocurrencies and is widely used for investment, payments, and as a hedge against inflation.
