Bitcoin Whales have accumulated thousands of coins in last 2 months

[Dudeperfect]

That's how the market works, as the great investor Warren Buffet says, "Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful". Institutional investors and big whales are always ready to grab the opportunities. When newbies and other investors sell their investment under the panic situation, big whales and institutional investors buy it on lower levels so that they can hold it until the next price rally. While investing, going against the flow might be a challenge for newbies but that's the secret sauce of big whales.

Undoubtedly, Warren Buffet is a genius, it is a remarkable phase of the market in general, what we are going through, very few will trust to buy and maintain, some if, and at a time not yet determined, when the bitcoin reaches the bullish phase, many new millionaires will emerge.

This only means that the whales are still alive and taking advantage of the market, the people in the middle of the food chain is giving their BTC on a discount for this hodlers which is obviously accumulating for the next bull run. There is really no other reason for that as 151,000+ BTC is no joke to be accumulated right now, yes it's nowhere near a million BTC but with the prices we have right now it's pretty big for someone accumulating. This might be a sign that they are preparing for something big.

Well, it's a crystal clear demonstration of a more general phenomenon. The rich are getting richer, while the masses lose out on these opportunities.
If you were willing to buy bitcoin at 19k you would be more than willing to snatch some up at 3.8k, yet that's not really what's happening. This exposes the paradoxicality of dumb money when it comes to market cycles.

The whales always have a good chance to be able to collect bitcoin, as a beginner and still a little capital can only hold it back. We really have to be able to learn like that to take advantage of the fear of investors to collect bitcoin. So use it as motivation if this bitcoin whale is able to collect thousands of coins in 2 months, learning from whales will be better.

Obviously, those who are capable of accumulating with large investment, are utilizing and manipulating the market when the time comes. But, the market would demand more supply back again. It would be good if the whales start letting out the coins in the market supporting the coins value raise again. At last, they are among the ones who decide the price at last.

Sometimes I would like to be angry with bitcoin whales because they are so greedy and do not provide opportunities for bitcoin owners with little capital. However, with the bitcoin collection they do, I think bull runs will come soon because surely they want to get a bigger profit than they have done so far.

I'm confused as to how whales are stopping people with smaller capital to seize the current opportunities? I also feel like it's not their responsibility to 'provide' a certain opportunity in the first place but rather, your own responsibility. At the end of the day, it's a free market. That's why I don't understand why you are angry with them. Wouldn't you want to increase your investment in something you feel like is severely undervalued?

[greeklogos]

Maybe that's a sign that bitcoin is going to take a new bull run ant the price is going to break a new record of all times. Weak ones are leaving the market by selling their coins, smart ones collecting it.

They can do it any time they want, but we should not be intimidated and stay focus on what we have. One day we will achieve our goals in life. Yes, we should also learn from them and riding with them is the key for us to generate profit also. This market is for everyone, we can still affect the market.

Top 100 whales have accumulated 151,405 BTC since Dec 17th. 2018. Smaller holders (those who have 100-1000 BTC) seem to have given a large amount of BTC to the larger wallets.

Now I don't know if this is due to people selling on exchanges, or simply leaving their money on exchanges. Though it does seem like it's pretty big news (if true) and whales are simply accumulating during this down time.

I'd like to see what people think about this!

That sounds like whales are hoping lots of BTC and eventually hoarding it. Though it is not directly related to being a manipulative act by these whales but it seems like it. They hold many BTC than the other people and when the price goes high, they are the ones to bring it down by selling all their holdings.

It seems that the pope did collect coins by utilizing the panic of the beginners, making it very easy to hoard them.
With the red market situation, the opportunity must be used as well as possible.

You are absolutely right, this panic only serves for the unwary to sell and those who understand the market buy, because it is the best opportunity to buy cheap. At any moment a small bull can arrive, to continue buying.

How I wish I do have huge funds to also buy bitcoin at this particular time.  It is a wise investments decision to buy bitcoin when the whales are buying and be able to sell when others are selling.  This is really a sign that bitcoin is going to recover in future.

It is not a big surprise to hear these kind of news as it is the best time to invest when the market is really low and wait for the market to recover and then book their profits rather than entering when the price starts to recover and that is how people make money from this market and not the other way around, entering at the last moment and then missing the point of exit and missing the entire run and then crying that they got played and so on.

Well, I really do not know why people cannot be smart enough to know when to buy coin and buy enough bitcoins and then they blame whale who are quiet to familiar with the market.

The best time to buy enough bitcoin is now and that is why it seems like whale are hurdling the coins. If everyone truly foresees what bitcoin has to offer in the nearest future, they would do the same thing as the whales and buy as much Bitcoins possible now that the market is down.

[South Park]

Correct, many people tend to sell their bitcoin right now. They don't realize that actually bitcoin price is tend to rise. Those whales are smart people thats why most of them can become whales. New people who only care about profit don't know that market is still played by whales due to the low liquidity of bitcoin.

The whales offer liquidity in a market that without them will soon collapse, so they are important for the market, however those that are selling are not really looking into the future, they are only looking at the losses they got and they think they cannot take it anymore instead of thinking of all the benefits that holding bitcoin will bring them, if you take the time to look at it you will see that all the people that are still holding their coins from before September of 2017 still got profits and in a few years even those that bought at the all time high will be in profits as well.

They could but unfortunately, they can't since their money is not like to those whales. Those who own 100 - 1000 BTC were the real whales since they've entered the market no one of us newcomer here could make a change of the market. We were just following their lead wherever they want the market to go. But in the long run, if we do accumulate and perfect the trading strategy we could make a lot of fortune.

Moving with Whales will definitely gives you a good chance to earned more, it's a good catch when they are still in accumulating stage and riding with them gives you a great chance to earned from any strategy that you will follow, whale can go short or long depends from the value they are aiming and the profits that they've expecting.

Following the BTC whales give you a big advantage over other market participants. Big investment organizations decide to open or close trading positions with powerful fundamental and technical analyse. if we consider the market movements with following these whales parallelly then it is possible to take nice amounts from the market.

[SafeSpell]

Yes, and in other breaking news: the lightning network will be ready in just 18 months.

[Gozie51]

Globally whales are the controller of the market and determine price rate per time, Money is a tool of influence, Am surprise thou at the amount invested since December 2018, This is a sign that the future is positive for BTC  as a currency, the bull run is sure to commence.

If only the people doing panic selling could hodl to their coins then the bitcoin space will keep expounding rather than just a whale dominated business. It won't spread the awareness faster.
People need to hodl longer for the price to appreciate because in economic terms, if a commodity or product is scarce, the price will increase just the reason that few people are ready to sell and at there own price.

Except you have made some gains and you want to off load, otherwise hodl and sell in profit.
