Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized digital currency, introduced in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Operating on blockchain technology, it allows peer-to-peer value transfers without intermediaries like banks. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin offers transparency, security, and a deflationary model that has attracted growing interest from individuals, institutions, and even governments. Today, it is regarded as a revolutionary alternative to traditional financial systems.
Bitcoin’s Evolution: From Digital Currency to Global Asset
Bitcoin’s journey from obscurity to global relevance is nothing short of remarkable. In 2010, it made headlines with its first real-world transaction—10,000 BTC for two pizzas. By 2013, it crossed the $1,000 mark, signaling early adoption. A historic bull run in 2017 pushed it close to $20,000 before a steep correction in 2018. It rebounded strongly in 2020–2021, driven by institutional interest and growing trust in crypto markets. Bitcoin became legal tender in El Salvador in 2021 and secured U.S. ETF approval by 2024. By 2025, it had surged past $120,000, solidifying its position as a multi-trillion-dollar asset and a symbol of the shift toward decentralized finance.
