Polymarket has gathered investors globally to bet on events taking place worldwide. Since Satoshi Nakamoto created and launched Bitcoin, the crypto coin has become an enigma of financial freedom. Now, investors on Polymarket have made several bets on the future of the crypto market.

There is a $832,970 bet on Polymarket set to expire today on “Bitcoin above $60,000 on August 30?”
