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.
Fair enough lucas. But if the goal is to make money, then would you rather be a whale with 40,000 BTC at $1000 / BTC or a whale with 20,000 BTC at $10,000 / BTC? Could not making money actually involve losing coins? And thus the quote from Zangelbert:
