Bitcoin (BTC) is known as the first open-source, peer-to-peer digital cryptocurrency developed and launched by a group of unknown independent programmers named Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Bitcoin does not have any centralized server used for its issuance, transactions, and storage as it uses a distributed network public database technology called blockchain, which requires an electronic signature and is backed by a proof-of-work protocol to provide security and legitimacy for monetary transactions. Bitcoin issuance is done by users with mining capabilities and is limited to 21 million coins.#BTC
