Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency, often called a cryptocurrency, that operates without a central bank or single administrator. It was created in 2008 by an unknown person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto.

Here are the key points about Bitcoin:

1. Decentralization

Unlike traditional money (like the Dollar or Euro), Bitcoin is not controlled by any government. Instead, it uses a peer-to-peer network where transactions happen directly between users.

2. Blockchain Technology

All transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain. This ledger is maintained by a network of computers (nodes) around the world, making it very difficult to forge or change records.

4. Units and Symbols

Symbol: ₿

Currency Code: BTC (or sometimes XBT)

Smallest Unit: The Satoshi (sat), which is
