It offers a finite supply of 21 million coins, driving its value over time. Bitcoin is used globally for various purposes, including online purchases, investments, and remittances. Its decentralized nature makes it resistant to censorship and inflation. With growing adoption, Bitcoin has become a significant asset in the financial world, symbolizing the shift towards a decentralized, borderless monetary system.
