Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency. Think of it as digital money that isn't controlled by a bank or government. Instead, it operates on a technology called blockchain, which is like a shared, secure online ledger that records all transactions.

New bitcoins are created through a process called "mining," where powerful computers solve complex puzzles. There's a limited supply of Bitcoin – only 21 million will ever exist, which some believe gives it value.

You can buy and sell fractions of a Bitcoin on special online marketplaces called exchanges. The price of Bitcoin can go up or down quite a bit, so it's considered a risky investment. People use Bitcoin for various reasons, including online purchases and as a potential store of value. It's a complex and evolving technology, so it's important to do your research if you're interested in learning more.
