Bitcoin is the first digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Bitcoin operates on blockchain technology, which is a decentralized digital ledger that records all transactions transparently and unchangeably.
Unlike fiat money, Bitcoin is not controlled by a central bank or government. Its supply is limited to only 21 million coins, making it often called "digital gold" because of its scarcity. Bitcoin transactions are conducted directly between users without intermediaries, using cryptography for security.
Many people use Bitcoin as an investment tool, a store of value, and a global payment method. Its price is highly volatile, but adoption continues to grow worldwide. Bitcoin is considered the beginning of the digital financial revolution.
