Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook

X is preparing to roll out a feature that could reshape how investors track assets on social media.

Unlike traditional tickers, which can be ambiguous, these tags will link directly to the exact asset, providing users with real-time price updates and a consolidated view of all mentions on the platform. The feature is currently in a feedback and testing phase, with a public release expected next month.

Hello Reader.
I am writing to you from the FPC Morgantown in West Virginia. I surrendered myself on December 19 to begin my 60 month (5 year) sentence.
