Many partners do not understand why it is said that BTC whales have multiple factions, such as the Eastern powers, Western powers, the European Union, Arab organizations, and other capital speculators. Currently, the Eastern and Western powers hold the majority of the market share, with the Western powers relatively controlling the situation.
The total market value of the cryptocurrency market is 2.157 trillion, with BTC accounting for 55% of the share, approximately 9 trillion RMB. A fluctuation of 10 points in Bitcoin is equivalent to 90 billion RMB. BTC has good privacy and can be redeemed globally, seamlessly connecting with the US dollar. The Eastern power is the largest holder of US dollar reserves, with reserves reaching 3.3124 trillion US dollars in 2024.
Financial investments are easily liquidated, and manipulating BTC's rise and fall can yield profits. Whales are wary of being swallowed, and while financial wars may be without gunpowder, capital acts as combat power. The candlestick chart is a battlefield, and whales sometimes appear relatively balanced, but are actually strategizing; during sideways movements, there are undercurrents, and changes can happen in an instant. The Western powers hold the initiative because the liquidity of digital currencies relies on USDT, which is controlled by a US capital group and can manipulate deflation and capital harvesting.
For retail investors, there is a symbiotic relationship with the whales. They need retail investors to supplement fuel but cannot uproot them entirely. The key to success in the crypto circle is self-control, managing greed, learning to wait, and not being greedy.
