Dishonest people, crazy bubble. To seduce citizens to the concept of easy money without much work for them is a bad idea«.
Investors have repeatedly made such statements and warned the public that the bitcoin «bubble», which should not be the case. However, this time their words are associated with the increase in the number of companies that are betting on the currency by introducing into use or an existing producing mine.
