Anyone who have been following will understand that now is the best time to buy. So, I am not surprised seeing that many people are taking advantage of the low price of Bitcoin now. Before the end of this year, I don't think we will see the price as low as it is now. Mt.Gox refund is the only one huddle left to overcome before we see all positive news for Bitcoin.

Anyone still doubting will have to rethink because next year is filled with so much positive news for Bitcoin. 

Flashback to few months ago, there was a whale sold his Bitcoins which he hold since 2017, it's a sign of bear market? look, is Bitcoin price keep declining since that news? nope. There's no correlation if a whale bought a lot Bitcoins, it has been predicted bull run will happen because of Bitcoin halving, not because of the whales.

Some people will be waiting, thinking the price of bitcoin may fall. Even if bitcoin fall to $20000, those kind of people may still be waiting for the price to fall to $15000. It is better to buy now becuase bitcoin is going all-time-high. And bitcoin halving is getting closer everyday. You know what bitcoin halving is and how people are sentimental and buying bitcoin after halving which later lead to skyrocketed price. I do not think this is bull run for now, the price of bitcoin may still fall or not. But with doubts like this, it is good to DCA.

I still don't buy into this whole crypto whale narrative. These are different Bitcoin addresses that may belong to all sorts of entities, right? Maybe it's major companies relocating funds into cold wallets, maybe it's some companies trying to reorganize their finances. Some of them can belong to individuals, sure, but that doesn't mean to me that there's actually any consolidation between major holders, that 'whales' act for similar reasons and have similar intentions. I really think it doesn't mean anything.

You must have missed the news from Mt.gox, in their most recent announcement they continued to delay compensation to victims for another year.  this means we will have new announcements from Mt.gox from September 2024, so there will be nothing to fix here.  but I believe that even if they compensated everyone, those bitcoins would not have any serious impact on the market.  because as OP mentioned, many people are quietly buying large amounts of bitcoin during this time so if someone sells cheap bitcoins there will always be buyers regardless of quantity.

for those unsure of the maths (using todays numbers, not the articles dates numbers)

[10 - 100)   4,460,738 BTC   
[100 - 1,000) 3,877,099 BTC   
[1,000 - 10,000) 4,696,672 BTC   $131,371,471,600
[10,000 - 100,000) 2,271,469 BTC

totalling up these amounts gets to ~15.3m btc hoarded in "whale addresses"
and they are saying this number is XXk more coins than 6 weeks ago

however this does not mean whales are privately hoarding in their own addresses it also means equally that lots of users of small amounts deposited funds into exchange hotwallets where users are about to sell

so in short the stats are meaningless.. it can equally mean:
whales are privately hoarding away from exchanges to not sell meaning less exchange supply
or users have deposited into exchanges(exchanges are treated as whales too) where users are ready to sell

if the stats showed that many small sub 10btc addresses had more addresses, then it shows many new users buying small amounts are then withdrawing from exchanges, thus diluting exchange supply

however by funds collating and accumilating more into large lumps above 10btc allotments, it "could" be a sign that many exchange deposits are happening ready to sell

the stats are meaningless because they 15.3m coins which they say has risen over 6weeks by xxk coins.. has alot of exchange wallets included, its not really a list of holdings totals of just non-exchange addresses

also to note when people deposit BTC into an exchange. it doesnt mean they will sell for fiat to cause a price change of bitcoin price. they may trade it for a altcoin, meaning not touching the btc-usd market order list

Reminder: Bitcoin whales are people with huge amounts of money, they're not people who have magic crystal balls. You people really need to stop over-glorifying whales as if they never get things wrong from time to time and that they have total control over markets.

Bitcoin whales can do their games and manipulations but they can succeed or fail because they are Bitcoin whales and are almost nothing in other aspects of society, nation and the globe. Their manipulations will be affected by governments, central banks and many issues from geo-politics, global financial, economic status.

Bitcoin whales even have to fearful that their manipulations will fail but they are long term so if they fail this year, next year, they will sit back, relax and come back with new manipulative strategies. They are well but speculators will have more difficulties to keep their capital safely when their speculation is not like how market actually moves.

Bitcoin whales have many different plans, A, B, C or more but speculators usually only have plan A.

I believe there is no time to waste now. Because we are in the best time to invest in Bitcoin. I am investing about 70 percent of my fund in Bitcoin. And the remaining 30 percent invested in other altcoins. I hope my investment will not turn into a loss. If you want to understand the future of Bitcoin, you see two reasons.
1. Bitcoin halving.
2. 2024 - 2025 bull run.
You can invest in Bitcoin for bull run. Then you can profitI think during the bull run, the price will cross the highs. However, investment companies and big investors are already filling their bags, investing heavily. You can invest now if you want.
