What is Bitcoin (BTC)?
Bitcoin is a digital currency created in 2009 by an unknown person named Satoshi Nakamoto. It runs on a technology called blockchain, which records every transaction on a public, secure network. Unlike regular money, Bitcoin is decentralized — meaning no government or bank controls it.
