#BNBChainMeme Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, ensuring transparency and security without the need for banks. Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, making it a scarce digital asset. It is widely used for transactions, investments, and as a store of value, often called "digital gold." BTC transactions rely on a proof-of-work (PoW) system, where miners validate transactions. Its price is highly volatile, driven by demand, regulations, and market speculation.
