About Bitcoin Miner
The platform is basically aimed at traders:inside who handle larger amounts of money. Those who have fully authenticated their account can only make fiat withdrawals of 10,000 euros or more. Therefore, it is more recommended for people with larger budgets. For those, there is also the option to make Over the Counter (OTC) trades.
