Bitcoin (BTC), the first and best-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009 by a person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
Since then, Bitcoin has revolutionized the financial world with its blockchain technology, which allows peer-to-peer transactions without the need for financial intermediaries.
Bitcoin is limited to 21 million units, which creates a sense of scarcity and value. Its decentralized nature and transparency in transactions have attracted investors and companies around the world. In 2024, Bitcoin reached the $100,000 mark, and experts project that it could reach $250,000 by 2025.
Despite its volatility, many investors adopt the "HODL" strategy (holding coins for a long period of time), expecting significant growth. Bitcoin has also been a catalyst for the emergence of other cryptocurrencies and innovations in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.
