#TrumpTariffs Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency, launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, known by his pseudonym. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to make transactions directly without the need for intermediaries such as banks. All transactions are recorded in a distributed public ledger called the blockchain. This technology ensures transparency and security, while encryption protects the integrity of transactions. The supply of Bitcoin is limited, with a total of 21 million coins, a feature that has led many to consider it "digital gold," a potential hedge against inflation. While praised for its innovations and potential to achieve financial freedom, Bitcoin is also known for its price volatility and the ongoing evolution of its regulatory framework worldwide.
