Bitcoin is the world’s first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched 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, security, and immutability of transactions. Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold” because it is a limited supply asset (capped at 21 million coins) and is used as a store of value and a hedge against inflation. It is widely accepted for trading, investment, and even payments in some cases.
