Bitcoin (BTC) does not have an official mascot recognized by its developers or creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. However, the alpaca has emerged as an unofficial mascot within the Bitcoin community. This association began in 2011 when Grass Hill Alpacas, a farm selling alpaca goods, became one of the first merchants to accept Bitcoin, gaining attention through a link shared on Slashdot. The alpaca became a symbol of Bitcoin's early adoption for real-world purchases, representing its legitimacy as a currency.
