I’m using a Canon 70D and considering buying four Yongnuo YN-600EX-RT speedlights. Can I put one YN-600EX-RT on the camera as the master and use it to trigger and control the other three off-camera flashes at the same time?

I wanted to know if I can use one yn600 on camera as Master to control another 3 flashes to fire together.. Is it possible ??
Yes. It's not only possible, it's exactly how the system is meant to work. The only thing you need to consider is whether you'll ever need that master flash to function as on-camera flash, or if you're only going to use it to trigger the three slaves. In the latter case, you might consider the YN-E3-RT instead, as it's cheaper, smaller, lighter, makes the camera less top-heavy, requires only 2 AA batteries (instead of 4), and does everything the YN600 does except for providing illumination.

Yes. A YN-600EX-RT can act as the on-camera master and control three other YN-600EX-RT flashes off-camera via the Canon RT wireless system.
This is exactly what the system is designed to do. On a Canon 70D, you can control flash groups and set modes such as TTL, Manual, or Multi for supported groups. You’re not limited to only three remote flashes—three is fine, and multiple flashes can also be assigned within the same group if needed.
The main choice is whether you want the on-camera unit to also provide light in the shot. If you only need a transmitter and not on-camera flash output, a dedicated RT transmitter like the Yongnuo YN-E3-RT can be a better option because it’s smaller and lighter.
