According to Foresight News, CryptoQuant analyst Yonsei_dent has provided insights into Bitcoin selling trends using the Spent Output Age Bands (SOAB) metric, which categorizes Bitcoin sales based on the holding period of investors. During the Bitcoin bull market in November and December 2024, long-term holders (LTHs) realized significant potential profits, indicating that some investors sold portions of their Bitcoin holdings to secure gains. Investors with a holding period of 6 to 12 months were the most active in selling Bitcoin. This group primarily purchased Bitcoin at the beginning of 2024 when Bitcoin spot ETFs were launched. Their selling activity may have exerted downward pressure on Bitcoin prices. Despite this, strong demand has kept Bitcoin within the $90,000 to $100,000 range. Investors holding Bitcoin for over a year showed minimal selling activity during this period.

According to BlockBeats, Dan Morehead, the founder of Pantera, highlighted in a recent interview that the perception of Bitcoin has significantly evolved since 2013. Back then, there were widespread concerns about regulatory crackdowns on Bitcoin, largely fueled by negative media coverage focusing on events like the Silk Road. However, Morehead asserts that the situation in 2024 is markedly different, with Bitcoin having reached what he describes as 'escape velocity,' indicating a level of acceptance and stability that prevents regression. In 2013, the narrative surrounding Bitcoin was predominantly negative, overshadowing its potential benefits. The media's focus was primarily on the Silk Road, a dark web marketplace, which contributed to a skeptical public perception. Despite these challenges, Bitcoin has managed to establish itself as a significant player in the financial landscape over the years. Morehead also pointed out a significant economic shift in the United States over the past decade. He noted that while most Americans are under the age of 40, a substantial portion of the wealth generated by the Federal Reserve and Congress's monetary policies in the last three years has disproportionately benefited those over 70. This trend represents a considerable transfer of wealth from younger to older generations.
