Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology — a transparent, tamper-proof ledger that records every transaction. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold” due to its scarcity and store of value potential. It's secured through a process called mining, where powerful computers validate transactions and maintain the network. Bitcoin enables peer-to-peer, borderless payments without the need for banks or intermediaries. It has sparked a global movement toward financial freedom and innovation.
