Bitcoin (BTC) was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, an anonymous individual or group, in 2009. Often considered the pioneer of cryptocurrencies, it was the first decentralised currency to gain popularity and is now considered the best-known cryptocurrency in the world.
Bitcoin's operation can be divided into two key components: blockchain technology and bitcoin transactions.
Bitcoin’s value proposition lies in its scarcity and security, as well as its potential to serve as a store of value. While Bitcoin's future is uncertain, it has undeniably paved the way for the broader adoption of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology across a variety of industries.
