Description
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created by an anonymous individual or group of individuals under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. It introduced the concept of decentralized digital currency, operating on a peer-to-peer network without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin uses blockchain technology, a distributed ledger that ensures transparency and security in transactions. It is often referred to as digital gold and is widely used as a store of value and a medium of exchange.
