Bitcoin has been making headlines recently due to its surging price, breaking records and reaching new all-time highs. The cryptocurrency has seen increased demand and interest from investors, with some analysts predicting further gains in the future. Additionally, regulatory developments, such as the approval of the first US-listed ETFs tracking Bitcoin, have contributed to the positive sentiment surrounding the digital asset.
Bitcoin, created in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, is a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority or intermediaries. It was launched in 2009 as open-source software, allowing users to conduct peer-to-peer transactions directly without the need for a financial institution. Bitcoin is based on blockchain technology, a distributed ledger that records all transactions across a network of computers. The cryptocurrency has gained popularity for its potential as a store of value and investment asset, as well as its ability to facilitate fast and secure cross-border payments.
