$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, introduced by an anonymous entity called Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. It operates on a revolutionary technology known as blockchain. A blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that records all Bitcoin transactions across a network of computers, ensuring transparency and security. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not controlled by any government or central bank, making it independent and censorship-resistant. The blockchain prevents fraud by making it nearly impossible to alter transaction history. Miners verify and add transactions to the blockchain through a process called proof-of-work. As interest in digital currencies grows, Bitcoin and blockchain continue to reshape the future of finance by offering faster, cheaper, and more secure alternatives to traditional systems.
