Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, operates on blockchain technology, enabling secure, peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries. Its all-time high (ATH) price reflects peak investor confidence and adoption, with a record around $69,000 reached in November 2021. This milestone marked widespread institutional interest, growing public awareness, and the integration of Bitcoin into financial systems. Underlying its value is the capped supply of 21 million coins and the robust proof-of-work mechanism securing the network. Bitcoin’s ATH signifies not only market enthusiasm but also its emergence as a potential store of value and digital gold.
