Bitcoin: The Pioneer of Cryptocurrency
Bitcoin (BTC), launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency. Built on blockchain technology, Bitcoin operates as a decentralized digital currency, enabling peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries like banks.
Its limited supply of 21 million coins and deflationary design make Bitcoin a sought-after asset, often referred to as "digital gold." While originally created as a payment system, Bitcoin has evolved into a store of value and an investment vehicle.
Despite its volatility, Bitcoin remains a symbol of financial innovation, driving the cryptocurrency market and inspiring countless blockchain projects around the world.
