A retired soul in Florida, no doubt basking in the glow of his newfound digital riches, has shared this gospel within the crypto community.

This steady accumulation from the big fish suggests that at least some of the large holders haven’t given up on the project yet, which is either very brave or very stupid, depending on how much you like losing money.
