Data from Whalemap suggests the whale purchased nearly 9,000 BTC in the third quarter of 2018.
The whale held on to the BTC for nearly 22 months, through two major capitulation phases. Bitcoin dropped to sub-$4,000 level twice, first in January 2019 and second in March 2020. The investor waited through both periods, ultimately selling at around $12,000.

Who said that bitcoin is no longer profitable?

I think he deserves that after 2 long years. He's enjoying that for sure, and we should be happy about it. It's because no one controls his private keys or mnemonic phrases rather than himself. We don't know if he has plans to buy the dip though. But for now due to the pandemic we are in, I think the profits he had for Bitcoin are his "last resort".
With so much patience, I bet that this is the right time for him. There's no guarantee that BTC will ever reach $20k again, as the market is very unpredictable.
