$BTC
ABOUT BTC
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2008 by an anonymous person or group named Satoshi Nakamoto and launched in 2009.
Key Highlights
Decentralized Network: Operates on a peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, meaning no central bank, government, or authority controls it.
Capped Supply: Supply is strictly capped at 21 million bitcoins, making it scarce and resistant to traditional inflation.
Proof of Work: New BTC is created through "mining," where specialized computers solve complex mathematical problems to secure transactions on the blockchain.
Halving Events: Approximately every 4 years, the reward given to miners is cut in half, reducing the rate at which new BTC enters circulation.
Primary Use Cases: Functions both as a digital currency for peer-to-peer transactions and as a digital store of value (often referred to as "digital gold").
