$BTC Bitcoin was created in 2008 by a person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, in response to the global financial crisis. Its goal was to create a decentralized digital currency, without the need for banks or governments.
In 2009, Nakamoto launched the software and mined the first block of Bitcoin, known as the genesis block. Initially, the value of Bitcoin was practically negligible; the first famous commercial transaction occurred in 2010, when someone bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC.
Over time, Bitcoin gained adoption as a speculative asset, a store of value, and a symbol of the movement for financial sovereignty. In 2017, it first reached $20,000 USD. In 2021, it surpassed $60,000 and attracted the interest of large institutional investors.
Today, Bitcoin is considered the pioneer of cryptocurrencies, playing an important role in the development of blockchain technology and the digital economy.
