Could you please elaborate on the concept of fractional ownership in cryptocurrencies, specifically regarding Bitcoin? I understand that a Bitcoin is divisible up to eight decimal places, but I'm curious if investors are actually able to purchase fractions of a Bitcoin, and if so, how does this work in practice? Are there any limitations or considerations one should be aware of when acquiring fractional ownership of a Bitcoin? Furthermore, how does this impact the overall value and liquidity of the 
cryptocurrency market? Thank you for clarifying this aspect of digital asset ownership.

    Platforms like Coinbase cater to these investors, setting minimum investment thresholds that align with local currencies.

    For instance, Coinbase requires a minimum investment of 1 unit of your local currency, whether it's $1 in the United States or €1 in Europe.
