$BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the 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 the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, which makes it deflationary in nature. It is widely used as a store of value, often referred to as "digital gold." Its price is influenced by global economic trends, institutional adoption, and regulatory developments. Over the years, Bitcoin has driven the broader crypto market and remains central to discussions on digital finance and innovation.
