#ThanksgivingBTCMoves Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority or intermediary, using blockchain technology to enable peer-to-peer transactions. Launched in 2009 by an anonymous figure or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin has become the first and most well-known cryptocurrency. It has gained global recognition as both a store of value (often referred to as "digital gold") and a medium of exchange. Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins, creating scarcity. Its value is highly volatile, influenced by factors like market sentiment, regulatory news, and broader economic trends.
