That sale of 80k BTC by a whale that had been dormant for 14 years, I thought it could cause a bigger movement in the market, but that's not what happened...

This is actually a good testament that the market is already more stable now. Back then, even without a sell-off, just a rumor that someone would dump a huge amount of Bitcoin was enough to trigger temporary panic. Pump and dump scenarios used to feel normal in the past, but now it doesn’t seem to happen as much - the market has shifted.

Could this be because of regulation and institutional investors stepping in? Would you agree?
