#bitcoins ($BTC BTC) is the world’s first and most popular cryptocurrency.
Created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto, it introduced the concept of decentralized digital currency.
Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to send and receive money without a central authority like a bank.
It uses blockchain technology, which records every transaction publicly and securely.
The total supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, making it a deflationary asset. Many investors see BTC as digital gold due to its scarcity and potential as a hedge against inflation.
Its price is highly volatile.
