Bro, your information about Bitget is not correct. Max. Leverage on the platform is 125X. I do trade on the platform regularly. So, I am pretty sure about that.

Yes, you are right, Bro. There are a lot of opportunities to earn in crypto world. I am trading Crypto since 2021 and learned a lot of ways to earn money in this space. One can get a lot of opportunities here to grow their portfolio in short term. One of the ways is to participate in a trading competition. An exchange could be the main source of participation in a trading competition. If they arrange competition only for your country, then there is a high chance to be a top trader If you are experienced and elite trader. For example, recently, Bitget has arranged a  futures copy trading competition for elite UK traders. There are high chances for UK Traders to become on top but If it was a global competition there would be less chance for them  to be on top and earn high rewards.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Strategies of Institutional Bitcoin Accumulation and Their Motivations on: August 25, 2023, 09:37:20 AM
When Michael Saylor's, MicroStrategy buys bitcoin, the market price increase and they usually do so to mostly when the market is experiencing a down turn. Correct me if I am wrong but I am assuming they don't do so from miners via OTC trading offers. Keep reading . I was still years old(don't crucify me) when I learned that institutions can accumulate substantial amounts of Bitcoin without triggering significant fluctuations in the market price. They execute this through purchasing Bitcoin directly from miners via OTC trading offers. Now, I have learned that this is one of the ways that Blackrock is accumulating bitcoin. As some asked, I will ask here too: when institutions use this "silent" method to buy bitcoin, are they doing it to gain control of a large percentage of the market or it is purely profit driven?


Well, Institutional purchases of Bitcoin, whether through OTC (Over-the-Counter) trading, can serve various purposes and it's not necessarily an either-or scenario between gaining control of the market and profit-driven motives. Here are some key factors to consider:

Profit Motive: One of the primary reasons institutions invest in Bitcoin is for profit. They believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin as a store of value or digital gold, and they seek to benefit from its price appreciation over time. OTC trading with miners can offer advantages like lower fees and reduced price impact compared to buying on public exchanges, making it a more profitable approach.

Risk Diversification: Institutions often allocate a small portion of their portfolio to Bitcoin to diversify risk. Bitcoin's price movements are relatively uncorrelated with traditional asset classes, which can help mitigate overall portfolio risk.

Hedging against Inflation: Some institutions view Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Buying Bitcoin can be seen as a way to protect the value of their assets in an environment of monetary expansion.

Regulatory Compliance: OTC trading with miners or other large holders of Bitcoin can help institutions comply with regulatory requirements. It allows them to conduct large transactions without causing significant market disruptions or raising concerns about market manipulation.

At last I can say,
while institutions do aim to make a profit when they accumulate Bitcoin, their motives are multifaceted. Profit is certainly a significant driver, but so are diversification, risk mitigation, long-term holding, and adherence to regulatory standards. Gaining control of the market is not usually the primary objective, as the cryptocurrency market is highly dynamic and difficult to control even for large institutions.
