Topic: What would happen if the major holders of bitcoin all decided to sell it all? - page 2. (Read 462 times)

I think some of them could have lost their wallets. and where does bitcoin lose its owner? Will it disappear for good? hmm, if they bought a long time ago, I think they've sold it or have they lost their wallet? because very few of them show off the wealth from investing in bitcoin.

We couldn't know if they are just holding or they are part of those who lost their wallet and stuck their Bitcoin forever.
But if they all decide to sell it all the price of Bitcoin would surely crash we have seen how it is when there are big whales or even FUD starts people would panic and join in to sell their holdings.
The question would be how much would it be after they sold it all.

Simple. Price will drop.

What do you expect more from it?? Law of supply and demand . If they will sell then the price will drop. It always work like that whether it is a crypto market or stock market or any market. I know for sure though that there will be some investors who will catch it from the bottom and will buy some at the bottom. I want this to happen though in order for me and other to accumulate more and hold.

The article had been up for so long until it was still in action. It is impossible to know where this bitcoin fund has flowed, or it is possible that this holder has hibernated in covid.
 If we were to assume they were selling these bitcoins, I would expect millions of people on the scale to buy them. Bitcoin value has surpassed the best psychological threshold for this period.

If we look at Bitcoin's extraordinary performance, it is impossible for Bitcoin holders to sell all the Bitcoin they own. But if it happens that many holders
sell all the Bitcoin they have, the Bitcoin price will fall. Hopefully this will not happen, because until now I am still optimistic that the bullish trend will
last until the end of the year. Moreover, Tesla has invested quite a bit in Bitcoin, so I'm sure this will be a trigger for other big companies to invest
in Bitcoin as well. So the Bitcoin price will continue to be bullish.

Imagine if Elon musk Tesla bailed out from bitcoin, I'm sure that there are many traders who will be liquidated in their positions because of a price drop, and one of the worst possible scenarios that can also happen after that is big investors joining tesla in bailing out. If this happened a stop-loss can save many traders in this kind of situation and it is important for traders to learn how to use it and to use it on every trades, I'm sure that new traders aren't using it and relying only on manual closing of positions which could put you in trouble if a big correction happened.

I think you should start to worry right now when you look at the market cap, the numbers are terrible and the value of bitcoin is similar, the price of bitcoin is going up very fast and to be honest, if a large number of holders dumped, we will not be able to cut loss or close in time and I cannot imagine the amount of money that can be lost with each individual. So, in recent days, I have been taking profits as soon as possible, avoiding whale's improvisation, this dumping can be a new history page, I don't have the courage to jump in when the situation is unknown

few ? no i dont think so . we cant reach this point if there are only less major investors investing in btc but the price of 60000 is a proof that we are now being invaded by major investors and there must be more to come .

your guess was right . they wont become a major investor if they dont invest like a pro but many big btc owners became inactive on the past and permanently lost all their coins because they never believe that btc will be this high

The tanking might not take long or might take long, we don't know yet but we know that when that happens, buying more bitcoin will be the best course of action, imagine all the whales dumping their bitcoin back into supply and the waves will not destroy us because we know that this will happen. This is like Christmas for everyone that has been waiting to buy bitcoin for such a low price. This is all just a hypothetical situation and I think that it doesn't make sense but we have to ride along with it.

Obviously, the price would drop, providing the opportunity for the smarter ones to buy BTC during the price drop (in case they all sell it over a short period of time, of course).
That would actually be good in some sense because there would be less possibility of market control by the major holders.
However, I don't think the info behind the link you provided in the OP is true. Besides, it's a little out of date, many things have changed since then.

The sudden swelling of Bitcoin will always give a certain influence on the price of Bitcoin. It acts the same when there is a buy order in a high amount of BTC at the same time, it will make the price increase. So does this condition. Of they sell the coins all in at the same time with the certain same rate of Bitcoin, core it will give infleucne.

If the majority of the holders decide to sell all of their bitcoins at once, then the price will crash. Hence, this will enable more buyers to enter the market. There are lots of people who are willing to buy at cheap. They will all rush in, trust me.
So this means we will see a short term crash on the price which will eventually recover and cause a huge big bull. We might all so see more stability in the market. As the number of coins spread between different people (and no single or group of person hold large amount of coins), we will see that price manipulation no longer takes place. In other words, a healthier market will be created.

I think the risk is they could manipulate the market if they are holding a big chunk of bitcoin. I don't think they are going to buy bitcoin just to easily dump it in the market these companies are planning to hold this bitcoin for a long term investment in their company and even planning to accept bitcoin in their own bitcoin meaning they are planning to buy more bitcoin and put it in the company. Holding a big chunk of bitcoin would make the market price of bitcoin rise and skyrocket even up to a million-dollar making it a big profit in the companies. And then sell it when the price is so high.

Pretty sure they're active, but that's the point of hodling. You're taking opportunity to hold even more then hodl even longer till the whole supply gets swept.
If major hodlers decided to sell? Well from supply and demand law, it surely gonna pull down the price but hey an opportunity for those looking for lower price to buy.

Honestly I will not be worried if the whales dump their holdings at the same time because there are a lot buyers just waiting for the dump. Its their only chance to jump in at very cheap prices, the price might tank but not for long. It wouldn’t make since if they dump their holdings these times now that Bitcoin is already on meanstream, I think most of them will hodl for years or sell just some of it.

Well you can't sell something unless there is a buyer, so I guess you mean what would happen if they offered to sell. Then you have to consider the offer price. They would try to get as much as possible.Bear in mind that most of the large players don't trade on the exchanged, but do their deals privately. This means that mass selling is unlikely to be the problem. A greater problem is the increase in hodling, and this may lead to an increase in volatility.

This is a real concern as it could lead towards the concentration of power on the Blockchain. Most people don't care about this, as they're focused in making money within the shortest time possible. Those who care about Bitcoin's decentralization will find the current situation quite concerning. Imagine if big companies control most of Bitcoin's supply? They'll be able to dictate Bitcoin's price on the market, among many other things. This would create an unequal system where only the rich will be able to control Bitcoin's future direction.

If major holders of Bitcoin decide to sell it all, prices will crash drastically on the market. There will be a recovery, albeit at a slow rate than ever before. To my knowledge, Satoshi Nakamoto is the biggest holder of Bitcoin. If he/she/they ever decide(s) to sell all of his/her/their Bitcoin, then prices will fall faster than you could ever imagine. At least, we don't have to worry about massive sell pressure on the market if Bitcoin continues to work as intended. There will always exist buyers who're willing to accumulate and "hodl" Bitcoin for the long term. What I don't like is that companies and other entities are accumulating a large sum of Bitcoin, bringing the problem of power concentration among a few people. But there's nothing we can do about this, as Bitcoin is "free" and open for anyone to do with it as they desire. Just my opinion

Bitcoin are so volatile and unstable. The reason why they bought many and decided not to sell is that they believe that in the future it will have a better and best price that they can sell it. Actually if a major holders would decide to sell it I think it will affect the market whole because in a simple word of major, it says that most of supply coin is will be available in the market. Imagine if the ask price is so low, many people will definitely buy it and I think the market price is definitely at the bottom and will fluctuate time by time.

Maybe they are active but not willing to sell the coin right now, I am sure that they have their own target to sell the Bitcoin and I am not sure if they want to sell it all at one time. But if they want, and happen, of course, it will influence the market. it relates to demand and supply. I will make the supply high enough at that same time. If there is also high demand, the price drop may recovery very soon. But if not, the price will likely go to drop again adn again until the demand and supply at least balanced. that is why it may be not too good if they will sell it all at one time except they want to make something shocked and having a certain purpose. 

Only if there's a lot of people are buying if those major holders decided to sell at this moment, of course there's a sudden drop of price temporarily.
Why are you so afraid if they (whales) decide to sell/dump their tons of coins? Remember, count it as a blessing in disguise because the price will suddenly plummet then you will be able to buy off some for a good price that you are expecting to have in the first place when Bitcoin suddenly rose to what price we have now.

I think there's enough buyer who can accommodate all of their coins if they suddenly dump it all or maybe not?
