There's an interesting story. A big whale spent $42.42 million simultaneously betting on digital assets and traditional precious metals, but as BTC stabilized, he immediately changed his mind.
Here's what happened: this guy spent $30 million at the end of October, buying 264.8 WBTC at a price of $113,262 each, totaling an investment of $24.85 million. After transferring to a major exchange, this order is now showing an unrealized loss of $5.15 million. He promised to hold long-term, but as soon as the market rebounded, he couldn't sit still.
What's interesting is that he's still holding onto real gold. His account still has a spot gold position worth $13.49 million. He bought both, but ended up cutting his losses on one and still stubbornly holding onto the other. This operation is indeed a bit hard to understand. Maybe he thinks the story of this rebound isn't over yet, and the story of gold still needs to continue.

This whale really has poor mental resilience. Why didn't they have any faith when buying BTC?

Cutting losses and fleeing, holding onto gold tightly—what is this whale really thinking?

This whale has chickened out. Long-term holding on paper, but panics immediately when losing... Still clinging to gold, a typical traditional financial mindset meets the crypto world, and it's awkward.

A typical paper hand mentality, claiming to hold forever when buying, but starts looking for an exit as soon as they lose money...

Cutting losses and running while still holding onto gold, this whale is really magical. When the market rebounds, they can't stay calm. Where's the promised HODL, brother?

The common problem among crypto people is that as soon as they see a rebound, they can't stay patient. Gold can hold on, but why did they cut their BTC?

Cutting losses on gold longs, a typical Hong Kong and Macau buddy trading style. How fragile must this mentality be?
