#Bitcoin17thAnniversary
The Epic of 17 Years
✨In a dark digital age, as the heart of the financial system was shaken by crisis, a mysterious figure emerged.

"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
– "The Chancellor of the Exchequer is on the verge of a second bailout for banks."
This wasn't a random newsp

At this stage, the market appears to be attempting that move. For this reason, I am placing multiple short
