$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by an anonymous creator known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Built on blockchain technology, Bitcoin allows peer-to-peer transactions without the need for a central authority like a bank. Its fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it a deflationary asset, often compared to digital gold. Bitcoin is popular among investors for its potential as a store of value and hedge against inflation. Despite price volatility, it has gained mainstream acceptance, with increasing adoption from institutions and retailers, making it a key player in the future of global finance.
