$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It was created to offer a decentralized alternative to traditional money—meaning no banks, no governments, just peer-to-peer digital transactions.

Bitcoin runs on a blockchain, a public ledger where every transaction is recorded. Its supply is limited to 21 million coins, making it scarce and often compared to digital gold.

BTC is used for trading, investing, and as a store of value. Its price is volatile, influenced by market demand, global events, regulations, and institutional adoption.

Unlike fiat currency, Bitcoin gives full control to the user, but it also requires self-responsibility—especially when it comes to security and storage.

Love it or hate it, Bitcoin has changed the financial world forever and laid the foundation for the entire crypto industry.
