$BTC
Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous creator known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Operating on a peer-to-peer blockchain network, Bitcoin eliminates the need for intermediaries in financial transactions. Its limited supply of 21 million coins makes it a deflationary asset, often referred to as "digital gold." BTC is widely used for investment, remittance, and hedging against inflation. Market sentiment, institutional adoption, regulation, and macroeconomic factors heavily influence its price. Despite volatility, Bitcoin remains the most dominant cryptocurrency, with strong support from both retail and institutional investors around the world.
