Looking at the date of post, and date transaction was made, I will say it was a smart moved because bitcoin was at its ATH November-december. If he truly sold those bitcoins, currently the money gotten can be used to buy 2-3x money bitcoin than what he sold at that point in time.
That's why I always advice investors to take profit when they see hypes on their investment vehicle then wait for the market to calm down before reinvesting.

it's very lucky if he can do it man. now the market is bad . no one can say the time it's get high
to get a lot of bitcoin cash and to dump bitcoin price..
i dont get it. if roger ver is holding that much bitcoin. he will be the first person smiling if bitcoin price are high as ATH as always,
buy why is he risking all his bitcoin to promote bitcoin cash? is it greed? or pride? or that he is really trying to continue the real bitcoin with bitcoin cash.?
thoughts anyone..

Probably he will get more from BitcoinCash since he is currently holding many. So that he tries to promote BCH more than Bitcoin. But in the end BCH will always be an altcoin for Bitcoin.
Why do people pay attention to that number? Roger did not give a mouse to a decentralized economy, and all his troubles, the rhetoric of Bitcoin, was hollow and ignorant. They are completely worth and much worse. If you just want to follow someone, why not just follow the government? What is your source? If he sells it in one go, it will definitely move the market. It seems like a dangerous move. Either way, if he moves that amount from Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash, then surely you will have to consider a bit.
Roger Ver is an emotionally unstable and immature guy. Just watch his videos where he cries when defending his viewpoints or gets too childish yelling and shouting like if he was 8 yrs old.
He's grown resented because his BCH project doesn't take off as he expected. Time will confirm that BTC is king.

I used to think of Roger as an enthusiast and just a guy who lives the idea of promoting Bitcoin, but now I'm increasingly reading such posts and I understand that he is just like other mercantile and greedy people who do not appreciate the idea that Bitcoin carries.
Lot of coins are coming up, and people at the top will be doing lot of things to act as distraction to bring down bitcoin, for there coin to have better value. It's all market strategy.

if he could dump his that much of bitcoin and moreover in that time where the valuation is deflating then most probably, this is his greed or he could be in need of some money that he needs urgently otherwise selling bitcoins at very low rate is never justified because this is the time of holding of bitcoins. He could be dealing with some kind of stress that forced him to sell his bitcoin at the time when the valuation is very very low otherwise there will no such person who will bear such a huge amount of loss that he could dump his 250k worth of bitcoins. i dont get it. if roger ver is holding that much bitcoin. he will be the first person smiling if bitcoin price are high as ATH as always,

If he dumps this many bitcoins, it will definitely have a negative impact on bitcoin price so even I am confused with his intention
He's free to do whatever he wants with his Bitcoin, it's one less whale with a lot of Bitcoin, so I am glad he's leaving Bitcoin and focusing on Bcash.
I know. I just wanted to estimate the impact purely from a technical price standpoint to see if he should be over dumping based on his previously known btc stash or we should expect lower prices if he has more to dump. Same for Jihan since I know he's being supportive of Bcash.
Because he is dickhead,that is why he wants to manipulate the whole market by overthrowing bitcoin,to replace his shitcoins to be the worst thing that could happen because he can control the value of his shitcoin as he has most of its supply just like what XRP is! purely bullshit which is why we shouldnt be supporting his ass!

Ok. So now that the price is much lower these days: was it caused by Rog Ver and team? Would his dump warrant prices this low (~$9K) or do you think it must have been someone else in addition to him?

I guess that these are logics that we are far from understanding... Just because we don't have that much money, so we could not afford to lose such an amount...
But for some, few, lucky, people, this is just pocket money. So they can play with it, through long-term strategies... or lose all their bitcoin because they have seen another investment opprtunity!
I am not able to explain the "why". I don't think that we have to involve conspiracy theories to explain such behaviour... It is just that capitalism works differently according to your own balance sheet. And until you are rich enough, some strategies will definitely be ununderstandable!

it would have been better if you also included some sort of proof to what you said.
It was probably based on this, with an extra zero: Roger Ver just sent 25k btc to bitfinex. Or maybe the OP is speculating that there is more to come. If Roger Ver plans to keep liquidating BTC for BCH, then I'm sure he's got more than 25k. The blockchain analysis seems to check out.
besides 250K is nothing in bitcoin market and even if he actually sold bitcoin that is what all the rest of the traders did! they sold their bitcoin as they speculated the drop or saw it after it started and then they all bought back in the dip. many below $6000 and selling 250K means you buy that much more at the bottom (~318K at the bottom).
also don't forget that he already has the same amount in bitcoin cash and he is not alone in pumping it.

Yeah, the market has matured quite a lot in the past year or two, and it swallowed his dumps right up. Well-known former hedge fund manager Mike Novogratz reportedly bought $15-$20 million worth of BTC while Ver was trying to suppress the price over the weekend.
Just a little correction, it's not 250K worth of bitcoins. It is 24.9k bitcoins worth few hundred million USD. Below is the link of the transaction and the transaction is still unconfirmed.

I will keep watching his tweets and recent price trends to understand what it leads to but it makes no sense unless he wants to buy a new yacht and a private jet for himself.
Oh man its really huge whats happening in community whales are playing big game we will be becoming small fishes for these whales they make the strategy we follow them now huge dump will be happen in bitcoin then these people will bag all bitcoin . Guys dont get into these trap be confident stay supportive to bitcoin . Lets not support these whales games. https://blockchain.info/address/14KsG6hxkM3cGGC4DvyEdf8uytoE7x9WRQ

No need to be confused. The 24.9k of BTC was meant to pump the Bitcoin Cash price. The BTC price will not feel any impact if someone dumps 25k onto the exchanges. We saw very little impact when Silkroad coins were dumped.
It was also a show of commitment to his followers. If he sells his BTC and buy Bitcoin Cash, his followers/sheep will do the same and this will push up the Bitcoin Cash price. Once it goes up, he sells it again and he makes a massive profit.

What's your source on this? It seems like he has 25k Bitcoins, which is quite a massive amount. If he dumped that in one go, it will certainly move the market.
Does he really plan on going all-in on Bitcoin Cash though? It seems like an overly risky move. There haven't been any solid indicators that Bitcoin holders are likely to support Cash, so it may even be a stupid move. Either way, if he moves that amount of money from Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash, it's certain to tip the scales quite a bit.

Bitcoin's circulating supply is 16,500,000; if he's got only 25,000 and he dumps them, that's shouldn't even justify a half percentage drop in price.
There's other ways he can make the price drop, and mostly around a combination of his mediatic power (bitcoin.com etc), connections (Korea..) and only at last brute purchasing power.
I will google this information for further information. Well that would be his own business strategy to generate more income so technically he is willing to take his chances do doing such move.
