Bitcoin day

On Tuesday, September 7, Bitcoin became legal tender in El Salvador alongside the US dollar. Every Salvadoran in the country or abroad was given $30 worth of Bitcoin through the government’s Chivo app this week. 70% of citizens in this country do not have a bank account and now have a digital wallet with Bitcoin. To celebrate this “Bitcoin day”, millions of people around the world pledged to buy the same $30 worth of Bitcoin on September 7. That went well for a while with even a breakout to €44,000, but by the end of the afternoon, large investors took their profits and along with the long positions that were liquidated, Bitcoin suddenly plunged 18% to €36,400 and bounce back quite quickly to €39,000 where we are now consolidating.
