$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most valuable cryptocurrency, introduced in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often dubbed “digital gold” due to its scarcity and role as a store of value. It has gained mainstream attention as both an investment asset and an alternative to traditional currency systems. Despite volatility, BTC continues to drive the global crypto ecosystem, influencing innovation, regulation, and adoption in the broader financial landscape.
