$BTC

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency, allowing users to send and receive digital money called bitcoins. Its appeal lies in its inherent resistance to censorship, the impossibility of double-spending, and the ability to conduct transactions anytime and anywhere.

Bitcoin uses a SHA-256 encryption algorithm and has a total supply of 21 million coins. Typically, one block is generated every 10 minutes, and the reward is halved every 210,000 blocks. Currently, most mining pools distribute transaction fees to miners in addition to block rewards.
