#ThanksgivingBTCMoves Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency that operates on a peer-to-peer network. It was introduced in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin uses blockchain technology, a distributed ledger, to record transactions securely and transparently. New Bitcoins are created through a process called mining, where computers solve complex mathematical problems. Bitcoin's limited supply and decentralized nature have made it a popular investment and a potential alternative to traditional currencies.
