$BTC Bitcoin ($BTC) is the world's first and most recognized decentralized digital currency. Created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto, it operates on a peer-to-peer network, eliminating the need for central banks or intermediaries. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, secured by cryptography through a process known as "mining."

While Bitcoin's value can be volatile, its limited supply of 21 million coins, global accessibility, and resistance to censorship contribute to its appeal as "digital gold" and an alternative payment system. In Myanmar, the Central Bank has cautioned against cryptocurrency use, though no explicit law forbids it.
