$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the mysterious figure Satoshi Nakamoto. Designed as a decentralized digital currency, Bitcoin allows peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. It operates on a secure blockchain network, with a fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it resistant to inflation. Often referred to as “digital gold,” BTC is widely used as a store of value and hedge against traditional financial risks. As adoption grows globally, Bitcoin continues to lead the crypto revolution, offering a transparent, secure, and censorship-resistant alternative to fiat currencies.
