Bitcoin (BTC): The Pioneer of Digital Currency
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Designed as a decentralized digital currency, Bitcoin operates without a central bank or intermediary, using blockchain technology to secure and verify transactions. It has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it resistant to inflation and appealing as a store of value. Often referred to as "digital gold," Bitcoin is widely used for investment, payments, and as a hedge against economic instability. Despite market volatility, BTC remains the cornerstone of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, influencing trends, innovations, and adoption across the entire blockchain and digital asset landscape.
