$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most popular cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the mysterious figure Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized network called blockchain, where transactions are verified by miners using computing power. Bitcoin is known for its limited supply—only 21 million coins will ever exist—making it deflationary in nature. It is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its store-of-value properties. BTC is used for peer-to-peer payments, investment, and as a hedge against inflation. Despite market volatility, Bitcoin has gained mainstream attention, institutional support, and global adoption, influencing the future of digital finance.
