$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the mysterious figure Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, enabling peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is often viewed as digital gold due to its limited supply of 21 million coins. It is widely used for trading, investment, and as a hedge against inflation. Market sentiment, global regulations, and macroeconomic factors heavily influence its price. As adoption grows, Bitcoin continues to shape the future of finance, offering an alternative to traditional monetary systems and centralized financial control.
