BTC

BTC, or Bitcoin, is a digital form of currency that operates without a central bank or government. It uses blockchain technology—a secure, transparent digital ledger—to record transactions. Bitcoin allows people to send and receive value directly over the internet, often with lower fees and faster settlements compared to traditional banking systems. It is decentralized, meaning no single entity controls it, and new bitcoins are created through a process called mining. Bitcoin can be used for various purposes, including investment, online purchases, and as a hedge against traditional financial systems.
