Hold up—you might be reading this wrong. Yes, one holder controls 45% of the supply. But before you panic sell, consider what that actually means for the market dynamic.



High concentration by a single whale can actually signal confidence in the asset's potential. If someone's willing to hold that much, they're betting on long-term value appreciation rather than quick exits. Plus, a whale's holdings create natural price support—they have every incentive to prevent the asset from crashing.

Compare this to fragmented supply where retail holders panic at every dip. The whale's skin in the game can stabilize volatility and create floor support.

Not saying concentration isn't a risk—exit liquidity is a real concern. But it's not the immediate death sentence most assume. Sometimes the market mechanics are more nuanced than the surface narrative.

NGL, this logic is a bit like trying to fool me... If a big holder owns 45%, they can stabilize the price? When the time comes to dump, they'll still go to hell.

Well... that's what they say, but I still don't dare to gamble on when the whale will dump the market. --- 45% in one person's hands? No matter how you put it, it's a ticking time bomb. --- Wait, this logic is a bit far-fetched... While whales holding can indeed suppress the price, who dares to guarantee they won't run away? --- "Natural support" and "floor price"... sounds good, but I'm just afraid that when I wake up, the people are gone. --- Instead of trying to figure out what whales are thinking, it's better to consider when you should run.

ngl This is a typical way of glossing over danger as a mechanism, I don't buy into the whale confidence theory... --- 45% really isn't that scary, the key is when this guy will sell off --- Sounds good, but once whales want to dump, no one can save you. Don't be too naive --- So basically, it's just betting on the whale's character? Forget it, I still won't gamble --- Hmm... this logic sounds okay, but historically, such operations usually don't end well --- Really, is it more stable than fragmented holdings? This is the first time I've heard such a claim --- Alright, admit it, it's just an excuse for poor liquidity

Ha, 45% of the chips are in one person's hands. What confidence are you talking about... I just want to ask, when will he sell? --- Can the big whale really stabilize the price? Wake up, I believed in this theory last time and even lost money. --- It's easy to say "early knowledge is priceless," but this kind of rhetoric is just self-comfort. Don't be fooled. --- The risk is not that small at all. Dare to go all-in and try? Anyway, I don't believe it. --- Wow, this is the classic trick of "big holders are optimistic," everyone who has been liquidated knows. --- Sounds very reasonable, but this is exactly how you think when bottom fishing... lost twice badly and still want a third time? --- When the liquidation price hits, all confidence is useless. One word: margin call pump-and-dump. --- You really think 45% of the chips are supported by liquidity? Don't joke, retail investors have all fled. Try to sell off. --- This analysis has a bit of that flavor, but it lacks a sense of reality. --- Are you brainwashed again... This logic would have gone bankrupt in 2018.
