Willy Woo: Bitcoin's slow uptrend this cycle is due to ancient whale selling pressure, and the market needs to absorb chips with a thousandfold return.

BlockBeats News, August 25th, Cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo tweeted, "Why is Bitcoin's price appreciation so slow this cycle? Bitcoin's supply is heavily tilted towards ancient whales who peaked in holdings around 2011. They bought Bitcoin mostly at $10 or lower. Today for every BTC they sell, the market needs over $110,000 in fresh capital to soak it up."

"This cost basis delta, their supply on hand, and the speed at which they are selling has profound implications on how much new capital is needed to move the price up. This can be seen as growing pains for Bitcoin until these early 10,000X gainers are fully absorbed by the market."
