What is Bitcoin$BTC
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency created in 2008 by an anonymous person or group of people under the name "Satoshi Nakamoto". Bitcoin was launched in 2009 as a decentralized financial system that allows sending and receiving money over the Internet without the need for intermediaries such as banks. Bitcoin is based on the "Blockchain" technology, which is a distributed database that records all transactions made using the currency.
Bitcoin has many characteristics such as:
1. Decentralization: It is not controlled by any government or financial institution.
2. Transparency: Anyone can verify transactions recorded on the blockchain.
3. Privacy: Users can conduct transactions semi-anonymously.
4. Maximum supply: The amount of bitcoin that can be produced is limited to 21 million bitcoins, which limits inflation.
Bitcoin is used as a trading and investment tool, and is considered one of the most popular digital currencies in the world.
