BTC

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a peer‑to‑peer network secured by a proof‑of‑work blockchain, where transactions are recorded in immutable blocks validated by global miners. Its primary purpose is to serve as a borderless, censorship‑resistant medium of exchange and a store of value, often referred to as “digital gold.” Bitcoin’s open‑source protocol, capped supply of 21 million coins, and first‑mover status have made it the flagship asset in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, influencing the development of many other blockchain projects.
