Who is the ancient giant whale that dumped 40,000 bitcoins in two days?
A super old wallet that has been hoarding coins since 2014 sold a whopping 40,000 bitcoins through Galaxy Company in just two days, equivalent to over 20 billion RMB. This kind of selling pressure is extremely damaging to the market, but the more critical question is—do you know who is selling?
I took some time to dig a little deeper:
First: This whale is not an ordinary person.
Having held coins since 2014 without moving them, only two types of people can achieve this level:
They are either not short of money and have a very stable mindset.
Or they are imprisoned and cannot access their wallets.
Out of the few people globally that fit these criteria, I can only narrow it down to five, including Chinese individuals, Chinese high officials, and the legendary “Dark Web King,” Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road.
Second: The selling method is very particular.
He chose to sell through Galaxy Company, which is dual-listed in the US and Canada, extremely compliant, and OTC large orders are handled very transparently. Who can sell through this method? It cannot be an ordinary person; anyone who can use the Galaxy channel has an absolutely non-simple background.
So, I boldly rule out three candidates from the Chinese direction and focus on the remaining ones—US high officials.
Third: Trump's cooperation is too obvious.
During the selling period, Trump suddenly posted about the “Stablecoin Act” and promoted cryptocurrency, which any normal person can see is completely unnecessary hype. The only explanation: this is to help someone cover up the selling.
Who is Ross? The founder of Silk Road, who had rumors of contact with Trump’s team during his imprisonment, and even rumors of a “possible presidential pardon” from Trump. Now it seems this is not baseless.
Conclusion: This whale is very likely Ross Ulbricht, and what’s behind it involves the Trump family itself! This wave of selling not only exerts a huge selling pressure on the market but also reveals a signal: US high officials have begun to sell bitcoins at a high position.
If there is no new large capital inflow in the future, BTC will find it difficult to have high explosive issuance in the short term; the main players may be making new layouts.
This is the underlying logic I see; it is neither frightening nor mere hearsay. Market fluctuations are surface-level; the key is who is moving the money behind the scenes. Don’t just look at the price; you need to see who is holding the steering wheel behind it.
