$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC), created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, is the world’s first decentralized digital currency and the backbone of the global crypto ecosystem. Designed as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, Bitcoin operates without the need for banks or intermediaries, relying instead on blockchain technology to ensure transparency, security, and immutability.

Over the years, Bitcoin has evolved from a revolutionary idea into a widely recognized asset class. Its limited supply of 21 million coins makes it “digital gold,” attracting both long-term investors and traders seeking a reliable store of value. Bitcoin’s decentralized network is maintained by miners who validate transactions and secure the blockchain through a process known as Proof-of-Work.
