Here are some interesting facts about crypto whales using Bitcoin as an example:

1. Satoshi Nakamoto and his millions of#BTC: Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, is believed to own around 1 million $BTC (over $27 billion). These bitcoins have not moved since they were mined.

2. "Sleeping" whales: Some wallets with large amounts of bitcoin remain inactive for years. For example, wallets with tens of thousands of BTC that have not moved since 2010-2011 are of particular interest when they "wake up".

3. Whales as market stabilizers: Large holders often do not sell their assets during market panics, maintaining price stability. Some even buy on dips, helping the price to recover.

4. Long-term holders (HODLers): Many whales follow the #HODL strategy, not selling bitcoins during price fluctuations, confident in long-term growth.

5. Whales Influence on the Market: An example from 2017, when the movement of 160,000 BTC caused panic in the market. It was later revealed that it was an inside transaction.

6. Centralization of Ownership: A 2020 study found that about 2% of wallets control 95% of all Bitcoin, making the market vulnerable to their actions.

7. Accumulation Strategy: During dips, whales often accumulate BTC, increasing their reserves for future growth.

8. Whale Transaction Monitoring: Any major BTC movements are tracked in real time, sparking discussions in the crypto community.

These facts highlight the influence of whales on the cryptocurrency market and its dynamics.
