BTC 81,000, on September 4, at around dawn it briefly broke above $82,000. If you only look at the price, you’ll miss the fact that three groups of people at the same price are doing completely opposite things.

First type of action: Hold on and do nothing.

A certain whale holds 1,000 BTC long positions (40x full margin). His entry average price is $62,353. He opened the position on July 6 and has held it for 60 days—nothing has been moved, with neither take-profit nor stop-loss. Now he’s up by $18.3 million, a return of 1,174%. He also holds 10,000 ETH long positions (20x, average price $1,761), up by $7.38 million. Combined, the two positions total $106 million, and his unrealized profit is $25.68 million. In the past 24 hours, BTC rose 4.5%, adding another $3.92 million to his unrealized gains—yet he still hasn’t moved. His liquidation price is $53,534, which is still 35% away from the current price. Sixty days ago he bottom-fished at $62,000; now it’s $82,000—he hasn’t done a thing.

Second type of action: Clear out and wait for a dip.

Jiang Zhuoer sold off all his BTC position today at $82,050. His logic is: when BTC is near the 8.15万箱 top, ETFs see their first outflow, and since the price is still rising, that’s a signal to sell. He expects BTC either to drop to 70,000–72,000, or to trade sideways in the 76,000–82,000 range. If BTC rises to break above 83,000–84,000, his stop-loss is set at $82,300—only $250 away from his selling price. At the same $82,000, the whale holds for 60 days with $25.7 million in unrealized profit without moving, while Jiang Zhuoer clears out waiting to buy back on the pullback to $70,000. Same day, same price—two completely opposite actions.

Third type of action: Build up the flywheel.

Strive (ASST)’s stock price touched $26.84 intraday on September 3, only 0.6% below $27. Hidden behind that 0.6% is a batch of call warrants with a $27 strike price, expiring in mid-October. Once ASST goes above $27, warrant holders can exercise, and the company will receive a one-time inflow of $700 million in cash. CEO Matt Cole said that after the $700 million, there are another $700 million in digital credit facilities behind it. With $1.4 billion in potential buying power locked behind a single price trigger, the “flywheel” idea is set. Strive currently holds 23,156 BTC (about $1.9 billion), making it the fifth-largest listed BTC holder globally. It bought 3,156 BTC in August, but only 136 in July—the pace is accelerating. The flywheel works like this: SATA perpetual preferred shares provide 13% annualized dividends as daily financing → buy BTC → BTC appreciates → stock price rises → warrant exercise → more cash → more BTC. But about 30% of ASST shares are being shorted; if ASST can’t stand above $27 within six weeks, the flywheel stops.

Three strategies, the same $82,000. The whale uses 60 days of patience to earn $25.7 million in unrealized profit and doesn’t move. Jiang Zhuoer uses technical analysis to judge the box top and clears out to wait for $70,000. Strive uses financial engineering to compress $1.4 billion in buying power into one stock-price trigger line. Hold-to-the-end, take-profit, and build-up—who do you think will win?
