Bitcoin (BTC) — Price & Briefing

Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency: digital money that runs on a public ledger no single company or government controls. Its fixed cap of 21 million coins is written into its code, which is why supporters call it digital gold — like gold, nobody can print more of it.

Bitcoin is the market leader, and the whole crypto market still tends to follow its direction. It is also the least volatile of the major coins — which still means swings of 50 percent or more have happened and can happen again.
