$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first cryptocurrency created in 2009 by a person or group of people under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is a decentralized system based on blockchain technology, meaning that transactions are recorded transparently and cannot be easily altered. Bitcoin is characterized by being a non-centralized currency, as it is not subject to government or banking authority, allowing individuals to exchange value freely and without intermediaries. Despite its extreme price volatility, Bitcoin has gained wide recognition as an alternative investment means and one of the assets that many investors and companies seek to incorporate into their investment portfolios. Bitcoin also faces challenges, such as regulatory issues and environmental security concerns associated with the mining process.
