Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to send and receive payments without the need for intermediaries like banks. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, making it scarce and often compared to digital gold. It has gained widespread attention for its potential as an alternative to traditional currencies and a hedge against inflation. Despite price volatility, Bitcoin continues to grow in adoption, influencing financial systems, technology innovations, and global economic discussions on the future of money.
