$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin’s supply is limited to 21 million coins, making it deflationary by design. It is often seen as “digital gold” and is used both as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, influenced by market demand, regulatory news, and technological developments. It has inspired thousands of other cryptocurrencies and remains a leader in the crypto space.
