First.  There is some validity to those theories about the disappearance of BTC from exchanges and from OTC desks, yet as the BTC price goes up, there are still going to be some folks who are willing to put their bitcoin in such places if they are given more money for them, and there will be guys selling at all price points on the way up, and surely some of them might ONLY be selling very small portions of their stash on the way up, too.

Second, we don't really need that many bitcoin in order to be in quite a good position, especially for guys who were accumulating prior to 2021, and who may well might have had largely finished their BTC accumulation prior to 2021, even as low as 10 BTC would put some of them in a position to either be at their entry-level fuck you status, or maybe within reach of being there within the next 2-4 years with the same BTC stash size which means that they don't even need to accumulate more bitcoin.

Surely the longer in the better, yet from your registration date, I see right around 28 months of your registration time on the forum, so unless you front-loaded your bitcoin investment or maybe you got into bitcoin earlier than your forum registration date, otherwise, I would think that most guys are better off to just keep accumulating bitcoin for a whole cycle or even more than a whole cycle in order to get to a sufficiently adequate BTC stash size so that they can sit back and relax. .yet you are implying that you are already at such stage of being able to sit back and relax - based on your already accumulated BTC stack size?
