Friends, remember how this summer Hamster Kombat gathered an incredible 300 million players? 🌟 But now the player base has shrunk to 40 million, which is only 13% of the original audience. What happened? 🤔

🐋 Ethereum whale has awakened! Selling ETH for $224M! 🚀
Friends, there’s a real sensation in the crypto market! An Ethereum whale, who accumulated 398,889 ETH for just $2.4M in 2016, has started selling its assets. Today, this fortune is valued at $224.42M. 😲
💡 What does this mean? 1️⃣ Awakening of a long-term holder: The whale has been quiet since 2016, and now has decided to take action. This is already an event in itself! 🐳 2️⃣ The market is on the rise: The sale coincides with the market growth — a perfect moment to lock in profits. 📈

That’s over 9000% profit.
⚡ Why now?
The market recovery may have prompted the whale to lock in some profits.

📉 MicroStrategy: stocks are falling, but what does it mean? 🤔
Friends, MicroStrategy's stocks have collapsed by 16%, despite Bitcoin's rise to an impressive $98,000. 😲 What happened?
💡 Reason for the decline: Analysts from Citron Research believe that the dynamics of the company's stocks have detached from the actual performance of Bitcoin. Now that Bitcoin ETFs have emerged, it has become easier for investors to invest directly in Bitcoin, bypassing MicroStrategy's stocks. 📊
📈 It seemed everything was perfect:
Bitcoin is skyrocketing! 🚀
MicroStrategy's stocks have soared by 500% over the year.
But the decline in stocks makes one wonder, are they still the best choice for those looking to invest in crypto? 🤔
⚖️ What's next?
Perhaps MicroStrategy's stocks will lose their popularity if ETFs prove to be more convenient for the average investor.
On the other hand, the company still remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin — this inspires confidence. 💎
💬 What do you think? Are MicroStrategy’s stocks a reliable asset or is it time to look for new investment tools? Share in the comments! 👇
