Could you possibly explain what Bitcoin, or BTC, is in layman's terms? I've heard a lot about it recently, but I'm still a bit hazy on the details. Is it just a form of digital currency, or is there more to it than that? How does it work, and why is it so popular? I've also heard about its volatile price swings, is that true? And finally, how does someone go about getting involved in Bitcoin? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
