This guy on Twitter actually spent 800 (probably more) BTC in order to win a few Dogecoins. Goes to show how easy it is to manipulate the market.

People with such huge amount of Bitcoins in their wallet have little concern about the entire crypto space. Personally, I think this person did that just to contain huge amount of Dogecoins just to try and see if he can manipulate the Dogecoin market.  I will not be surprised if this person has about thousands of Bitcoin in his wallet, so spending 800 Bitcoin for 5 million Dogecoins will not really affect his crypto worth.  But on a serious note, 800 Bitcoin is a lot to just spend that on a bet just for 5 million Dogecoin which is no where equivalent to the Bitcoin spent.  I don't really think this story is truth considering the worth of the 800 Bitcoins at the current price and spending such amount for  less than 0.01% of the amount spent.
