#23I like to hate on ETH as much as anyone else, but isn't it also normal for stock market "whales" to buy/sell in smaller chunks to not move the market by much with a giant order? Since ETH is based on a completely transparent ledger and not a privacy focused coin like XMR, all wallet amounts are public so you can see if a giant wallet pops up or transfers out to known exchanges - meaning a sale is taking place.

#24Wait… I put all of my retirement and kids’ college money into ETH. I told my friends and family to do that too so we can get rich. Was that a bad idea?

Over the long term, the large whales will eventually consolidate more and more power, but hey, that's tomorrow's problem. But if in reality there's just a handful of silicon valley tech bros and VCs who control the majority of the supply, and thus ca…
Most of them sold it under 20 usd per eth
SO your probable worries are not valid. There were 2 bear markets since eth ico.
Solana has this exact issue though... since launch it goes only up (relatively) and money raised from VC were much bigger (eth ico was only circa 10mln usd)
