Here's what the numbers tell us: roughly 30% of all Bitcoin is sitting at a cost base that's $90,000 or more below today's price. We're talking about 3 million plus Bitcoin held by accounts with entry points at four digits or below. These aren't traders cycling positions—they're accumulators. Long-term holders. And that's the thing: when you've already won that hard, what's the incentive to keep buying? To keep pushing the market higher?
That's the real question worth asking. If the goal is actually to accumulate Bitcoin at scale, to move the needle on market structure, the playbook can't just be hodling what you've already stacked. It requires continuous demand. It requires stepping back into the market instead of waiting it out.

Wow, these early entrants really got a free ride, they don't even have to lift a finger.

nah this is the thing nobody talks about—opportunity cost math is brutal once you're already up 9x. why push more capital in when your basis is four digits lol. thesis validation hits different when you're already winning that hard tbh

Bro, that really hits home. Early entrants are now just sitting back and winning passively. Why should they keep pouring money in to push the price higher?

These old winners are lying around counting money. Why should they still enter the market to dump?

Those early whales are really a bit lazy, just lying around winning and still thinking about lying, hilarious.
