$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network, allowing users to send and receive money without intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, ensuring transparency and security. It has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it deflationary by design. Bitcoin is often seen as “digital gold” due to its store-of-value properties. It is widely used for investment, online purchases, and as a hedge against inflation in uncertain economic times.
