New Investors Sell 148K BTC At A Loss As Bitcoin Price Falls to $92K.

admin

Key takeaways: Newer Bitcoin investors sold over 148,000 BTC at a loss on Nov. 14.

To be clear, Brazil’s National Treasury and central bank are not adding Bitcoin to the country’s sovereign reserves. There is also no law requiring government bodies or state-owned firms…
