Only criminals buy Bitcoin to hide illegal black money, otherwise it's worthless.

Yet another false, feign, sham, shame, frail, feeble, feint and fake rise of Bitcoin's value, by far, the # one bad coin of the world used by smugglers, money-launderers, black-mailers, ransom-seekers, match-fixers and extortionists all over the world.

Be careful nothing is going up with Fed in the US raising interest rates and inflation is still super high. Wait for lower bottom at around $12k to $14k and then buy, buy and buy and HODL for few year till 2025 and enjoy life without working for someone else.

Bit by bit! What goes up, must come down. It is just too good to be true. And unregulated by any government is a sure path to major fraud.
