And how reliable is this data tho? How did they determine its from X exchange? I am seeing zero explanation about it...

Oh well, a portion of what they own is prolly the least we could get to know anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Coinbase's holdings are the largest by far, yet people didn't know what addresses actually belonged to them. Initially there was speculation about a massive whale owning over 800k BTC, later turns out it was Coinbase.

Most of the large number of coins that suddenly get moved after years of inactivity also belong to exchanges. People use them as an actual wallet for years which explains why these cold wallet coins haven't moved for years.

https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

That site is what I use to occasionally browse through all the addresses to pick up on changes in balances and whatnot. If Coinbase didn't announce their cold wallet movements people would still think it's a whale.

[BitCoinDream]

Its good to mention the source of such information (i.e. where the exchange acknowledged their ownership) from where these data are collected.

But what are the benefits of knowing these addresses?
If you will see a transfer with big amount of BTC - How can be used this info?

[firenine]

That's so much crypto! OMG!

But what are the benefits of knowing these addresses?

It can be used to debunk all the FUD posts that spring up all over this forum and other online sites whenever a large amount of bitcoin is moved. For a period of two weeks or so in December, we had at least one new topic every day posting about how "a whale" was moving 600k bitcoin, which they were definitely about to dump and bitcoin was going to crash to zero. By knowing that the addresses in question were actually Coinbase's cold storage, and they were simply moving the bitcoin from their current cold storage system to a new one, it was easy to point this out and stop the rising panic amongst all the newbies who believe everything they read at face value.

Basing your trades over whether a whale is moving funds or not has got to be the dumbest thing Regardless, even if large funds were being moved to be sold, you'll never know until they actually are, and then of course the hindsight bias kicks in for the FUDders with the "I told you so" crap. That's even assuming a whale is stupid enough to dump a large amount over a short period of time..

So many arguments can be done against this specific sort of FUD that ranks it among the stupidest and least effective way for them to spread misinformation. Imo if big funds are being moved, it's even more of a good thing for bitcoin because it means early adopters/whales are actually active and up to date with bitcoin's protocol, and are potentially using their coins. Every transaction that moves millions of dollars around with minimal fees prove the point that you could never do the same with banks.

Exactly. If there was a whale who owned 600k bitcoin and wanted to cash out, do you think they are going to be stupid enough to move it all and sell it all in one transaction? They know full well that kind of sell pressure would drop the price, and they would lose out on a significant amount of fiat. Any whales who want to cash out are likely doing so in small batches so the price stays relatively stable as they do. Still, logic never was the strong point of these kind of newbies who panic and scream "Bitcoin is going to crash!" whenever the see a large transaction.

I would like to think having a readily available list like this would stop of all of the nonsense threads of '500k bitcoin moved, whale set to cash out' but I don't see that happening. People who believe that don't use logic or do their own research.

This wallet does have 0 balance.

The other wallets does contain the indicated amount, I'm just curious if this one wallet which contains 0 balance is really the other "cold wallet" of binance.

but it is not about stupidity and you can not assume that anyone who owns large amounts of bitcoin is not-stupid! they may as well be the biggest ones that just got lucky and got in early and forgot about even owning that much (like forgetting the password of a wallet created in 2009-10).

instead it is about the fact that you can NOT dump that much! what most FUDsters forget is that we are talking about cashing out a ridiculously big amount of money. for instance the 600k bitcoin you mentioned is worth $2.2 billion dollars! you can't even begin to cash out that amount from 20 exchanges let alone the only 4-5 real bitcoin exchanges that exist and are big. and then there is the bank problem. they are fucking with the customers when they cash out a large amount like a couple of thousand, they will not even let you transfer that much money

I wonder what will happening if the wallet hacked. To maintain security of the wallet, i think it must be a huge responsibility to do that.
In fiat currency, if you lost your bank account, you may can recover your account with the bank help. But in crypto, once you lose your account, you cannot recover it back if your account already drained out.

In bitcoin you and only you are responsible for every penny in your addresses. Sometimes it's "nice" to have a third party in control because it shifts responsability from you to them in case of a fuckup, but it's ultimately a bad thing because your money is not really yours. You couldn't even dream of moving large amounts of money like you can in bitcoin.
