$USDC $BTC

*Bitcoin (BTC)* is the world’s first decentralized cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. It runs on a peer-to-peer blockchain network where transactions are verified by miners and recorded publicly, without banks or governments. Only 21 million BTC will ever exist, making it scarce like digital gold. People use it as an investment, store of value, and for cross-border payments. Price is volatile: today it trades around $74K-$76K, down from its $126K all-time high in Oct 2025. You can buy fractions of a bitcoin, called satoshis. It’s held in digital wallets and traded globally 24/7 on crypto exchanges.
