It introduced the concept of a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency operating on blockchain technology without the need for central authorities or intermediaries. Bitcoin has a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins, with new bitcoins created through a process called mining at a rate that halves approximately every four years (the &ldquo;halving&rdquo;). This built-in scarcity has led proponents to call Bitcoin &ldquo;digital gold.&rdquo; BTC/USD represents the price of one Bitcoin in US dollars and is the most actively traded cryptocurrency pair globally. Bitcoin&rsquo;s market capitalization has grown from zero to frequently exceeding $1 trillion, and its acceptance has expanded from a niche cypherpunk experiment to a mainstream financial asset with spot ETFs approved in major markets, institutional custody solutions, and inclusion in sovereign reserve discussions.</p>
