$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 technology called blockchain, which is a public ledger that records all transactions securely and transparently without the need for a central authority like a bank. Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold” because of its limited supply (only 21 million coins) and its use as a store of value. It allows users to send and receive money globally with relatively low fees and without intermediaries.
