Are there really BTC seers?

[Bachan]

Almost every Bitcoiner is familiar with the Pizza man and the BTC Pizza day; the story of how a man sold thousands of btc just for a pizza. If it was a movie/drama, that movie will fall under Tragedy. A man simply didn't see the possibilities that lies ahead and hence sold generational wealth for a fleeting moment. But unlike the pizza man, a long-dormant Bitcoin whale just moved 400 BTC (~$44M) after 12 years of silence.

The wallet originally received miner rewards about 15 years ago, when BTC was worth next to nothing. Fast forward, and those coins appreciated 830x in value, from roughly $135 to $111,800 at the time of transfer.

Arkham data shows the funds were moved in neat 15 BTC batches until the wallet was completely emptied. The owner remains a mystery, and so do their intentions, whether cashing out, diversifying, or simply moving to a more secure wallet.

This isn’t the first time such will happen. We’ve seen several “Satoshi-era” wallets reawaken recently as Bitcoin hit new highs. Big names and whales are repositioning.

My deep thoughts:
Remembering the story of the pizza man and reading about this BTC Whale move today made me think, are there really btc seers, men who did see the future of btc and decided to be patient even when it all looked crazy? Or they simply were just mad enough to not bother for years?

Would you have held through if it were you for years through the highs and lows? I would like to hear the thought's of BTC OGs

In my personal opinion, maybe the BTC leaders launched or asked people (who you call prophets) to launch tactics to attract investors to BTC. Let the market price go up to attract people to buy, lower the price to make people sell, then raise the price very strongly to lure chickens.

If I’m being real, I don’t think I’d have had the patience, it’s hard enough holding through one bear market.

It all depends on how you approach this investment. Normally, people invest as much as they can afford to lose. And they don't care whether the price goes up or down. They have already said goodbye to that money.

sometimes it feels less about being a 'seer' and more about conviction and patience. Holding through all the noise takes a different kind of mindset.

Nope, 100% not

I have tried to collect and hold different trading cards, assets etc and I never seem to be able to see it go up. and I dont have the patience either. right now I just choose what I believe will appreciate and then make it a point to keep for 10 years.

It’s crazy to think about, right? I honestly feel like those who held through the chaos were either visionaries or just had a wild, long-term bet on BTC—I'd like to think I'd hold, but not sure if I'd have the patience!
