On-chain case | 60 BTC moved out—understand what happened before drawing conclusions about market direction.
On Oct. 16, CoinDesk reported, citing Chainalysis, that after funds from a fake part-time job scam flowed into three wallets, attackers stole 60 BTC, involving tampered hardware devices. This is a media report, not my own independent on-chain verification.
This is not evidence that a “whale deliberately dumped.” When interpreting large transfers, distinguish between theft, self-transfers, and deposits to exchanges. The amount alone, without knowing who controls the addresses or where the funds went next, is not enough to determine whether it was a buy or sell. #OnChainAnalysis
