It is a known fact that whales and the institutional investors where the sellers who sold on high and now they have started to accumulate but same time they are also playing with market like buying in low and selling in high and then buying more with profit in low, so this way they are accumulating the volume of btc with the same investment. This is why they are wise and who ever is selling in panic is the loser.

It doesn't really say much because of the fact that we don't know whether these addresses are owned by exchanges, entities, or individual investors.
But what I have seen over the past few months is that while people have been influenced by the bear market, institutional firms and investors have been actively trying to probe into the market. It's actually quite smart if you consider the fact that they're essentially entering in at the most opportune time, contrary to what the market sentiment is.
This should be an indicator that the smart, institutional money is already coming in and accumulating coins at this stage. While that in itself doesn't necessarily mean that a bull market will emerge, it certainly invalidates what people claim of "bitcoin's death". The fact is that the market is just moving in cycles - and institutional demand is going to be huge in the next bull market.

After reading what some news about cryptocurrencies a huge number of people begin to discuss it on various resources presenting it as their material.
In recent days, the news of 150 000 bitcoins is noisy in dozens of tapes, YouTube channels and various blogs. It's probably big news, but it is not necessary to inflate a sensation and to trumpet about it to every blogger and forum members. Here's a video where they also talk about whales and 150,000 bitcoins and it's not the only one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlnSfXy8vFM

It is not a shock that bitcoin whales have collected bitcoin while it is low. We are still trying to see bitcoin as what it is today and fail to see what it could be in the future. Whales are smart people, they do not invest for today, they invest for the future and that is how they became whales, they have done this with other stuff before and they can see the potential in bitcoin so they are investing for the long term again but on bitcoin instead of a stock this time.
The smaller investor sees bitcoin at 3 thousand or 4 thousand or whatever it is today but whale sees how it could beat 20 thousand dollars one day, maybe soon maybe not but it did that before and it has no block on doing it again one day, they see it as a possible thing and that is why they have collected this much bitcoin while smaller fish try to sell and get out because they are scared bitcoin could go down even more.

I think that this trend was empowered mostly because people started panic selling. These people who held small portions of bitcoin didn't find any interest in continuing to hold their cryptocurrencies because it started losing value. On the other hand, whales find a way and an opportunity to accumulate more coins.

Bitcoin market have experienced bearish market for the previous year so the Bitcoin Whales have accumulated a great amount of digital assets .so the richest Bitcoin holders have been the luckiest to buy and hold as much of bitcoins .the price fluctuation of bitcoin that is the depreciation of their value has helped to invest most of the people who can afford without much effort .Since Bitcoin whales have accumulated thousands of coins that have resulted a number of exchanges.to come up . Beside these big whales a good portion of the owners are unknown to the public since they keep it as hoarding with them at home ..

I'd like to see what people think about this!
What I think is that accumulators are the true believers of bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency.
Now, the point therefore is that, some people have the financial strength to buy or invest in bitcoin but they would not, they would rather prefer to watch other people invest while they keep spreading fud about. So everyone has the privilege to be called a whale

Its not surprising they get richer everytime there is a massive dump of coins. They'd be panic buy too when suddenly big finacne firms comes in and become whale because its a threat to thier existence. If lets say those floor traders in FOREX market suddenly starts collecting BTC in crypto market, these we called whales today are going to feel how it is to be a noob.
when many traders from forex who switch to cryptocurrency it will increasingly make trading volume increase and the price will also be very expensive, but the most important thing is when that happens and when the price of bitcoin can succeed again like 2017, hopefully the whales can make the bitcoin price back go up.

We are always telling or saying this word "Buy on the dip" or "Buy when others are fearful" or "Accumulate when theres blood on the streets" and this is what these whales are doing and it isnt really a surprising thing. They do make money on their own ways since they do have the capability on accumulating large chunks
of coins.When the market tends to reverse then it would be an another easy money for them.

Pretty much. The rich get richer.
Wasnt crypto supposed to turn the tables?Well it was supposed to level the playing field. That's still true, in a way, because Bitcoin as a system doesn't discriminate against whales or small holders. It allows everyone the same opportunities and freedoms -- you can do everything a rich guy can, but chances are, they can still do it better.
At the end of the day, Bitcoin encourages free market, which people with more resources thrive on. If you try to punish people with more resources than you, then it stops being a free market and the system stops standing for freedom. People may think scenarios like this are unfair, but they can do exactly the same things whales do. It just becomes a question of scale.

Top 100 whales have accumulated 151,405 BTC since Dec 17th. 2018. Smaller holders (those who have 100-1000 BTC) seem to have given a large amount of BTC to the larger wallets.
Now I don't know if this is due to people selling on exchanges, or simply leaving their money on exchanges. Though it does seem like it's pretty big news (if true) and whales are simply accumulating during this down time.

This is clearly because of the fact that they might see Bitcoin in the next few months or years to be great again. Whales makes the market flow become profitable and alive. Whales might think of the possible huge return when market turns green after a sudden crash. Hodler's and investors arround the world also hoard as their long term investment for future purposes. Good for those who can afford to buy some as they grab the opportunity to buy while Bitcoin is cheaper than the price of the year 2017.

The impact of the price is not limited to having a lot of currencies, "Big whales" but just getting a lot of trading volume makes you a speculator on prices.
Let's look at what happens when some platforms add or remove new cryptos "like what happens with Binance and Coinbase."
It's almost like being like a bank.
When the bank decides to buy a property or a benefit, all the regions near it are increasing and so on.

Wasnt crypto supposed to turn the tables? Nah thats not happening because people even though they are optimistic about bitcoin - the real money makers are the ones who already have money in their hands and know where they should put their green tasty fiat into for future moons. They know unlike shitcoiners that bagging bitcoin when prices are low is what is needed to turn the tables and not hodling and shorting when you can even for a 1$ change in price.

Not surprising for me, have been hearing the same narrative for months now, and I do believe part of it is true (they're buying the dip).
They always buy the dip. Problem is rest of small caps traders fail to do so or are not willing to. After a few months though they will be same people complaining that they didnt buy the dip and regret it during uptrend. It sure must suck to be one of them.

This should have been the normal scenario after 2017 highs and the crash of 2018. Players would be looking into increasing their assets in a considerable amount so as to make the most out of the bear market. At this point in time, many would have already reached the thousand-BTC mark and are now making moves in the market signifying that they are still around and bitcoin is not a dead asset. Whales do need a lot of fiat and bitcoin at hand in order to be a force to be reckoned with, and that's what they're doing right now, filling their pockets while everyone is doubting bitcoin.

It's simple. They do "afford to lose". They do afford to wait and sell only when they're on profit.
They have people good at trading and even if by tough chance they lose in one place, they cut loses early and they earn from another asset to cover the loses.
It's easy to diversify and do the things right when you're so rich you should simply stay away and do something else (enjoy life on Earth, make a "city break" on Mars, whatever..)

It's safe to say that traders/investors have seen their stacks at least double after the 2017 high, and it makes sense. It has been happening for years where after every bull run, the correction is utilized to amass more Bitcoins. Big pockets become even bigger with how they are being fed coins by noobies and get rich quick panic sellers.
The biggest losers so far are the crypto related funds, where most of them had to unload everything and just exit the market entirely.

Of course whales are accumulating right now!!! It's the mega pump coming. Smaller holders 100 or under can't or dont want to afford holding every single bit so yes they are buying, selling, and transacting with bitcoin right now while the whales just let their trading algos accumulate so they can put up huge buy walls. That's what makes it pump along with the news. If you watch the canyons you will see the HUGE buy orders placed deep in the order book. Wait for the whales to make the sideways cycle accumulation get to a point that everyone is wanting to sell to them cheap. Then we will pump.

Many will tell they are not surprised by this move. And they're right.
However, many will be shocked (again) at the middle of the next market cycle how it's possible that some whales can cash in such big amounts of Bitcoin.
Yeah, history is repeating. And repeating. And so on..
