everyone thinks bitcoin is the most transparent asset in crypto because the chain is public but actually more than 50% of all $btc sits in wallets nobody can even identify.
you ever sit there watching on-chain data thinking you know exactly who holds what only to get wrecked by a ghost wallet moving size? most traders have no clue theyre flying blind on actual ownership.
more than half of the entire bitcoin supply is in addresses that have never been linked to a real person or institution. you can track every transaction and every sat but connecting those addresses to names is a whole different game.
some of these wallets are lost coins from 2009. some are silent otc desks. some could be nation states stacking. ngl the landscape is way messier than the narrative sells you.
this is why watching $eth whale labels or even $usdt flows sometimes gives you more of an edge than staring at unlabeled $btc clusters. the data is there. the identities are not.
anyone else seeing this as a bigger risk than people admit?
