So do the whales have the ability to dump us into a bear market on their own?
They would be able to buy cheap Bitcoin but if we're in a bear market they can't sell for huge profits (and then rinse and repeat) until the next bull run. Or is Bitcoin accumulation the be all end all for them?
Actually, we can say that at some point whales can really manipulate the market. Considering the amount they are holding, it would make a huge influence on the price movement for sure. Even though they have the capability to do such things, surely they wouldn't do it so often. There are many people who knows how whale play games that's why there are instances wherein they are able to outsmart them. We should quickly analyze or predict when will they be dumping or pumping the market so that even though we are not as powerful and influential like them, we can still take profit from crypto.
