Bitcoin Whales : Not a Capitulation, but Profit-Taking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The “mega whales” in Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong> have been gradually reducing their holdings since 2017, even as the price reached tens of thousands of dollars. This is not irrational behavior but a long-awaited profit-taking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
