The firm’s Bitcoin gross profit was only $75 million, or approximately 2% of revenues from the cryptocurrency.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":195661303,"gmtCreate":1621293299102,"gmtModify":1634192799408,"author":{"id":"3581711485322302","authorId":"3581711485322302","name":"vivo8787","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b863ab23ed789e4cdcd83c9777c2cbae","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581711485322302","authorIdStr":"3581711485322302"},"htmlText":"👌","listText":"👌","text":"👌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/195661303","repostId":1184824690,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":192663985,"gmtCreate":1621207070647,"gmtModify":1634193490208,"author":{"id":"3574411684600657","authorId":"3574411684600657","name":"AJ1977","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa526fc2ee7ebbfedc30edc637c7981f","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574411684600657","authorIdStr":"3574411684600657"},"htmlText":"It’s
