Also members of the crypto community noticed the fact that the active growth in prices in the digital asset market allowed Bitcoin to bypass the Brazilian stock market in terms of capitalization.
It is noteworthy that against the background of the renewal of the maximum value of bitcoin, the gold rate reached a minimum in 7.5 months. Members of the crypto community jokingly explained the changes by the fact that BTC “eats” precious metal.
