$BTC
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that was created in 2009 by an unknown person or group under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It relies on blockchain technology, which is a public and distributed ledger that records all transactions securely and transparently. Bitcoin is not controlled by any central bank or government, making it unique in the global financial system.
Bitcoin is characterized by its high price volatility, making it attractive to investors seeking significant returns, but it also carries substantial risks. New bitcoins are mined through a process called mining, which requires powerful computers to solve complex mathematical problems.
Bitcoin has sparked widespread debate around the world, with some viewing it as a revolution in the world of finance, while others warn of its potential risks and use in illegal activities. Nevertheless, Bitcoin remains the leading and most well-known digital currency in the market.
