Bitcoin (BTC), as the pioneer of cryptocurrencies, has expanded its use from a mere payment tool to various fields in finance, technology, and society. Below is a detailed analysis based on the latest information:

1. Decentralized Digital Asset

The core value of Bitcoin lies in its characteristic of not relying on any central authority, achieving peer-to-peer transaction records through blockchain technology, which ensures immutability and transparency.

Application Scenarios:

Cross-Border Remittances: Low-cost, quick international transfers that avoid high fees and delays of traditional banks.

Financial Hedge: In economically unstable countries (such as high inflation areas), Bitcoin can serve as a tool for asset protection.

2. Store of Value Tool (Digital Gold)

The total supply of Bitcoin is fixed at 21 million coins, and its scarcity makes it a long-term store of value similar to gold.
