Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It's a decentralized digital currency, meaning no government or central bank controls it. BTC runs on a blockchain, a public ledger that records all transactions transparently and securely.
Bitcoin is often called "digital gold" because of its limited supply—only 21 million BTC will ever exist. It's used as a store of value, a hedge against inflation, and sometimes for payments.
BTC = freedom, scarcity, and security—just bring your own research and risk management.
