This just goes to show that if you know what you're doing you could play a long waiting game and still ensure profitability. The whale could potentially have waited longer and got higher rewards but I suppose everybody has to draw a line while calculating their risks. The reason I'm saying this is that by the end of the year one would predict a higher price than 12k. In any case, cryptocurrencies provides us all with new opportunities just like back in the day cheap housing was an opportunity for the last 2/3 generations of out time.
