#CreatorPad aBitcoin (BTC) is the first decentralized digital currency, launched in 2009 by an unknown creator using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing secure transactions without banks or intermediaries. Bitcoin uses blockchain technology, a public ledger where all transactions are recorded and verified by miners through a process called proof-of-work. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins, making it scarce and potentially valuable. BTC can be used for payments, investment, or as a store of value, often called “digital gold.” Its price is highly volatile, influenced by demand, regulations, and global economic trends.
