#TrumpBitcoinEmpire Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, introduced in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, which ensures transparency and security without the need for a central authority. Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" due to its limited supply of 21 million coins and its potential as a store of value. It allows for fast, borderless transactions and is increasingly accepted as a form of payment. Bitcoin has influenced the development of thousands of other cryptocurrencies and continues to shape the future of finance.
