Sale of 80 Thousand Bitcoins by a “Whale” Moves Over US$ 9 Billion and Raises Alert About Volatility and Influence in the Market

US$ 9.5 billion, or about R$ 50 billion. This is the amount a man made selling Bitcoins after waiting 14 years and gathering a lot of patience. The information was disclosed by TomsHardware magazine. This type of sale usually attracts a lot of attention because it involves the so-called “Bitcoin whales.”

These whales own large amounts of the currency. They can be individuals, groups, or even anonymous wallets with thousands of accumulated Bitcoins.

The most important thing is that they have the power to influence the market price. This happens because a mass sale can directly impact the supply and demand of the cryptocurrency.

Sequential Transactions Surprise

On X, formerly Twitter, a user posted an image with data from recent Bitcoin transactions. The screenshot showed several operations with high values.

In one of the lines, it was possible to see a sale of 80 thousand units of the digital currency.

This type of movement usually keeps investors alert. After all, when a whale sells a large amount, other people may feel pressured to sell as well.

Therefore, the effect can cause sudden changes in the price of the currency.

Bitcoin is Volatile and Risky

The history of Bitcoin shows how values can vary in a short time. In November 2021, the digital currency exceeded US$ 50,000 per unit.

Just a year later, in November 2022, it dropped to US$ 15,000.

Currently, the price of Bitcoin has risen again and has already surpassed US$ 101,000. This puts it back among the highest values ever recorded.

U.S. Politics Influences the Market

The recent performance of Bitcoin is also linked to the political scenario in the United States. According to the German newspaper Tagesschau, former President Donald Trump expressed support for Bitcoin.

Additionally, ongoing legislative decisions may directly influence the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the country.

This expectation of fewer rules may keep investors’ interest and sustain prices high.

U.S. Politics Influences the Market

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

While SpaceX and China advance in space, Europe is trying to create a reusable orbital plane capable of carrying payloads, operating independently in orbit, and returning to Earth without landing in the sea like traditional capsules.
