$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) remains the leading cryptocurrency, symbolizing the shift toward decentralized finance. Launched in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin introduced the world to blockchain technology — a secure, transparent ledger that records transactions without intermediaries. Its capped supply of 21 million coins fuels scarcity and drives investor interest. Over the years, Bitcoin has evolved from a niche digital currency to a mainstream store of value, often dubbed “digital gold.” While its volatility attracts traders, it also poses risks for unprepared investors. Institutions and governments now closely monitor Bitcoin’s impact on global markets. As blockchain adoption grows, Bitcoin’s role continues to spark debates about its sustainability, energy usage, and future regulation. Despite fluctuations, Bitcoin remains a key player shaping the financial landscape.
