$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin is often called digital gold due to its limited supply (21 million coins) and store-of-value potential. Its price is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, regulatory news, adoption, and macroeconomic trends. BTC is used for investment, transactions, and as a hedge against inflation. Despite skepticism and regulatory hurdles, Bitcoin remains a major force in the global financial system and a central asset in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
