I think that a big investor became a big investor because he knows what he is doing.
Throwing all coins on the market at once would have some impact to the price if a big investor would dothat.
That includes the coins the investor owns. No investor would intentionally damage his fortune.
If somebody with a lot of coins decides to cash out, he would do that in small steps.

When i am looking at a total market cap at Coinmarketcap, I cannot help but wonder what if a big investors in cryptocurrencies makes a move to cash out at this time. And i'm sure that traditional bitcoin holders believe in HODL. But lately, the cash inflow that we have seen in this market is probably big institutional investors. And they will be looking to exit at some point with huge profits.
So if and when that happens, I feel there will be a huge decline.
What are your thoughts?

And why should I even bother to check the marketcap?
??The market cap depends on the price as it's just equal to number of coins x price per coin.
If somebody decides to sell 50 000 coins on one exchange and crash the price to 1000$ , why should I be worried about the marketcap?
Everyone would just look at the current price, that is what matters.
The whole marketcap debate with the comparison to gdp or companies worth should just end once for all. It is used only by newbies and by altcoins shills to promote their crapcoins.
During the last crash the drop in marketcap was 10 billions more than the entire market volume.
from day 1 in not only bitcoin but also any other market there are always people who are cashing out and people who are buying in. supply an demand. when those who are buying are bigger than those who are selling, price goes up and when those who are selling are more than those who are buying price comes down.
big or small investor doesn't make any difference they have always been selling at some point and world doesn't end when they do.

On day 1 if somebody would have sold 1000BTC a few kids would have been able to buy in with their monthly allowance and keep the price at the same level.
If somebody sells now 1000BTC you're going to need a lot of kids. I dunno if even Santa has that much in North Pole Bank.

If big investors cash out, they will lose money and a chance to multiply his investments. Prices of token will plummet and people with btc and ETH are going to buy at cheaper price.

I hope they do. Maybe transactions will start confirming again after the bubble burst. I'm not paaying 100$ to get confirmation, bitcoin and it's miners can go fk themselvs.

Well if they're pulling stunt like that,all of us will shocked as we watch the price crashing down
But if some other big player come while the price is crash,i think it will be back again in the top
So it depend on the new investor really

there are always people who are cashing out and people who are buying in.
Exactly. The only way someone can sell any bitcoins is if they can find a buyer for them. The BTC doesn't just magically vanish when someone sells them for fiat cash. Every sale potentially means one or more new investors. Critically, the "or more" part. One person selling a large stash potentially means lots of new investors if they haven't all got enough cash to buy the whole batch. As prices continue to rise, wealth in Bitcoin will become increasingly diversified over a larger number of participants as more and more people can only afford smaller amounts of BTC. The more people involved, the harder it is to stop.
Plus, if you are one of those who are primarily concerned with the fiat value of your holdings, remember that the whales won't be selling for peanuts. They'll be wanting to make profits. And extra volume is usually seen as a sign of good health. If you think about it, as with all markets, Bitcoin needs the occasional dump in order to avoid stagnating. It's not something to fear and is all quite natural.

Even when one of the big financial institution will cash out many other might want to take that as good opportunity to buy some cheap bitcoins. So price might just shoot up again after a small correction.
I don't think we will see any big correction on bitcoin atleast till end of this year, other cryptos might go through huge corrections.

That's a valid point.Its true that there are huge big whales in the bitcoin market holding big shares of bitcoins.I think that not all of them would discuss and decide to exit the market at once.
Agree with you, big investors cant pull out at the same time and cashing out their bitcoins will only mean new players joining the bitcoin market and it wouldn't really affect the market much despite a a slight decline in bitcoin price which is expected.So,if they do individually at different times,that would not have any impact on bitcoin's price.But surprisingly,if they decide to quit at same time,then we would follow a slight decline in bitcoin price.
this happening at the same time is highly unlikely

With more and more people jumping into btc everyday, yeah i find it hard to think that whales would be cashing out. Some say btc would break 50k usd or even 100k usd. Whales know how to make money and profitable as it may seem now, it would be nothing compared to how much they'll get a year or two from now

The Big Players will never sell all their holdings at the same time or it will cause panic and will end up creating a huge bear wave. They would instead sell gradually as prices go up trying to avoid attention.

what does the total market cap has anything to do with an investor cashing out!!!
altcoins get dumped left and right just because every investor (small or big) cashes out of them. specially when bitcoin price is rising.

With the acceleration of bitcoin you must be in a real need for cash to sell bitcoins. Big whales have no interest to sell until the bitcoin price stay stable for months. My bet is it will grow until the next big crisis. Buy some food and some silverpieces dudes, not much, just enought to survive the next debt crisis (few months).
