Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on blockchain technology, a public ledger that records all transactions. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin isn’t controlled by any government or bank. Instead, it relies on a peer-to-peer network where miners validate transactions using Proof-of-Work (PoW). Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million, making it deflationary. Its value comes from scarcity, utility, and adoption. Today, Bitcoin is used for investments, remittances, and as a hedge against inflation.
