【Blockchain Rhythm】Interesting things are happening. Yesterday, the on-chain monitoring system detected a major movement—a vintage wallet that has been accumulating Bitcoin since 2012 suddenly became active. Six hours ago, this whale transferred out 909.38 BTC, which is worth approximately $84.62 million at current market prices. Speaking of the origin of this wallet, it was aggressively accumulating between December 2012 and April 2013, when Bitcoin was still hovering around $50 to $100. After sleeping for so many years, suddenly moving such a large amount—what is the logic behind this? Market observers are all pondering—are they reducing holdings at a high point, or is there another motive? Such large transfers have always been market indicators and are worth tracking.

Wow, this guy has been sleeping since 2012? He just dumped 909 BTC all at once. This pace is pretty intense.

Wow, the big whale that has been sleeping for over ten years has finally woken up. We need to watch this pace slowly.

Whoa, is this guy really about to make a move? Haven't touched it in over ten years, but he's serious this time.

Laughing to death, the coins bought ten years ago for fifty yuan are now being cashed out. This guy is really ruthless—if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bothered to do cross talk. --- Wait, 909 coins, is this a dump or is he really short on money? I bet fifty cents this is a signal of reducing holdings at a high point. --- The antique wallet is waking up. Is the next one the small balance in my account waking up? Dreaming. --- What is this operation teaching everyone about "long-termism"? Fifty yuan ten years ago, now eighty million. Why do I feel like I'm performing cross talk instead of trading coins? --- Don't be fooled by the transfer of big players. The truth about us retail investors is: follow the trend, buy high, sell low, and you'll never earn the smart money.

Wow, the old whale that’s been around for over ten years suddenly moved. This rhythm feels off. Really? Just transferring 909 and it’s done? I thought they were going to liquidate everything. This guy either sees through everything or needs cash urgently, one of the two. A ten-year holder making a move—the market has to tremble a bit. Feeling a bit anxious, it seems like a change is coming.
