Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) is the pioneer of decentralized digital currencies. It operates without a central authority, allowing peer-to-peer transactions on its blockchain. Often referred to as digital gold, Bitcoin has become a store of value and a decentralized alternative to traditional currencies.

History of Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin, created in 2009 by an unknown person or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, marked the inception of decentralized digital currencies. It aimed to provide a peer-to-peer electronic transactions system, free from central authority control.

Lightning Network

Bitcoin integrates the Lightning Network for faster and more scalable off-chain transactions.

Halving Events

Bitcoin experiences periodic halving events, reducing the rate at which new bitcoins are generated, emphasizing its deflationary nature.

DApps

While Bitcoin's primary focus is on peer-to-peer transactions and store of value, it has limited support for decentralized applications (DApps) compared to some other blockchains. However, projects like RGB and RSK are working to enable DApps and smart contracts on the Bitcoin network.

Development

Bitcoin's development primarily focuses on improvements to its scalability and privacy features. Various upgrades, such as the Taproot upgrade, aim to enhance smart contract functionalities and transaction efficiency.
