2025: THE YEAR NOBODY SLEPT

There's a quiet story unfolding in Bitcoin. The 21 largest holders didn't blink once last year—they just kept adding. Roughly $40 billion worth of BTC accumulated into their wallets while everyone else was doing something else.

Meanwhile? Retail was in full panic mode. Chasing signals, reading the noise, waiting for permission from some chart pattern to make a move. The disconnect couldn't be starker.

Big money moves different. No announcements, no drama. Just steady accumulation while the market was distracted.

This is how cycles actually play out.

Laughing and then crying, the big players are silently eating the meat, while we are still looking for signals on the chart --- This is called information asymmetry, everyone. 4 billion USD quietly flows into wallets, retail investors are still asking whether to cut losses --- "Chives Diary" Day-X: The moment I discovered the truth, my hands trembled --- Large funds play Go, retail investors are still playing Gomoku. This disconnect is not just a little bit --- No announcements, no drama, just quietly consuming the market. That’s the style of top players --- Data speaks, the 4 billion USD accumulation is already telling a story, but retail investors haven't woken up yet --- Really amazing, when others are frantic, we panic; when others panic, we… are still panicking --- This is the cycle, not the chart, not the technicals, it’s the money talking

Big whales quietly make huge profits, while retail investors are still looking at candlestick charts... the difference is truly remarkable.

Whales are quietly accumulating, retail investors are still looking at candlestick charts and discussing technical analysis. I'm stunned.

Big players are quietly getting rich, while retail investors are scared out of their wits watching the K-line... The gap is really huge. --- 4 billion USD, they just quietly bought in, while we're still discussing in the group whether to buy the dip. --- Basically, it's an information gap; there's always someone making money while others are sleeping. --- No wonder I always feel like I'm taking over the position; turns out the big fish have already eaten. --- It’s really not that no one sleeps, some people are sleeping very soundly.

Big whales are quietly making huge profits, while we are busy discussing charts on the screen. That's the gap. Retail investors are still waiting for signals, but they've already taken their chips. Wake up, everyone. The accumulation of 4 billion in real cash, and we're still arguing about rises and falls. The disparity is too great. That's why big players always make money, while we keep chasing the hot trends. It's truly incredible— the quieter the accumulation, the more deadly it is. The loudest voices are actually cutting their losses.
