August was a bullish month for altcoin traders as they ranked in profits, forcing Bitcoin dominance to drop below 60% for the first time since the start of the year. However, the altcoin euphoria was shortlived as September brought along the bears. The end of Q3 wasn’t great for Bitcoin traders, but that was expected as September is usually not a profitable month for Bitcoin.

Keiser: Governments And Institutions Will Rush To Buy BTC Keiser recently tweeted that “the (temporary) Bitcoin price suppression scheme is a godsend for poor people...

However, what should be more concerning is the amount of BTC held by the exchange’s wallets. Data says that the value of holdings is easily worth $2.3 billion.
