Oh my god what a load of bullshit
This is the speculation sub-forum, lucas. What I wrote certainly may not be true, and I acknowledge that in the original post. But I don't see how this is bullshit. Do you think the great whales of bitcoin want to harm it instead? Perhaps they wouldn't do what I describe, but you must agree that they would act to *support the bitcoin system* because their fates are intertwined.
I think, in line with Speculation sub-forum, that bitcoin is a game to make money. People with a lot of many have a lot of money precisely because they do not stop at some number and always work to get more. A whale with 40k BTC exposure to bitcoin markets movements will do everything to protect their investment.
