Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency created in 2009 by an anonymous entity named Satoshi Nakamoto. BTC is a decentralised network that enables users to make transactions without intermediaries such as banks or governments that can control or regulate it wilfully.

BTC's popularity has been increasing year after year, and it has become the best-known cryptocurrency. Today, many consider it the 'digital gold', and like gold, its supply is limited. The maximum amount of BTC is 21 million. Currently, 90% of that amount is in circulation, and the other 10% left will be distributed in small amounts in the forthcoming years, increasing the value of BTC.
