Bitcoin Price falls due to Sell Off:

after plunging below the psychological barrier of $50,000 bitcoin kept dropping failing to find support at even $45K. Today was one of the extremely volatile day of the year for bitcoin. This kind of downward spiral was only seen the day when China announced ban on BTC mining.

The bitcoin sell off reminded the traders that Whales still have upper hand. The sell off and scrapping of the volume made BTC hit the floor.

The silver lining is that El Salvador is buying the dip like a pro.

It appears the discount is ending 🥲

Thanks for the dip @IMFNews. We saved a million in printed paper.
