I know most of you will cry BS after my post, but on Aug 17th around 5:00pm EST there were many coordinated huge sells of BTC on the bigger exchanges and its rumored that it was Elon Musk doing the selling. It doesn't matter who was selling, the seller wanted to create an avalanche sell which would cause more selling. If I had $ 500 million of BTC to move, I would sell it gradual OTC style to let's say Institution A, B and C. Not on the open market and take out all the sell stops along the way crashing the market. During the past 3 weeks when BTC was hovering at the 30k mark, I would sell my batch nice and slowly and evenly It was one day before BTC options expiry and the market was net short and it needed to close below 30k for all those major derivative players to make tons of coin. Let's say 3% of the world owns BTC and each average Ma/Pa daytrader owns $ 100.00 each, they aren't going to ever move the markets. Come on man ! If I was one of the players on the inside, let's just say that 10% group, I would each month sell 20k puts and 50k calls to all the dreamers out there and do that every single month. Rinse and repeat and that's my theory and I'm sticking to it ! Every month on the 3rd Friday ( options expiry), I would count my profits with all those useless worthless out of the money options and laugh all the way to the bank. If there was an actual Ponzi scheme in place, that's how I would play it out. I wouldn't care if BTC was trading at 25k or 35k, it would be range bound and that's how I would make my Ponzi money.
