September is traditionally a bad month for crypto - a down month for the past five years. But for Bitcoin proponents, October might hold something a bit more hopeful. The month of pumpkins and Halloween has typically been one of the best months for Bitcoin price gains. Advocates are crossing their fingers that the same thing will happen this year, especially as Bitcoin’s total market share has risen to 48%, its highest since 2017.  To better understand what lies ahead for BTC, Bloomberg reporter Hannah Miller joins Bloomberg’s Vildana Hajric.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
