Wouldn’t it be smart to borrow as much tether as possible since it can collapse?

Since tether is at risk of collapsing, wouldn't it be smart to borrow as much tether as possible to buy more eth? because if you borrow 50k of tether and you use it to buy bitcoin and tether collapses, you still keep the bitcoin on your hardware wallet and you don't have to pay the…

Ross Ulbricht’s debut NFT sold for $6.2M at auction

FreeRossDAO buys the Silk Founder’s NFT created from prison and auctioned off via SuperRare to fund future efforts to free Ulbricht.

1.26% of all circulating bitcoin is held by 85% of the total addresses while 63% Bitcoin is held by a mere 0.04% of the total wallet addresses.

This latest buy from MicroStrategy (Michael Saylor's Company) of Bitcoin has made this inequality very apparent to me- the big becomes bigger and the small becomes smaller.

Bitcoin Inflows Trend Up As Whales Continue Dumping

On-chain data shows Bitcoin inflows are trending up, a sign that whales might be increasing their dumping. This could prove to be bearish for the coin. Bitcoin Inflows Move Up As Whales Continue To Sell As pointed out by a CryptoQuant post, on-chain data highlights that BTC inflows to exchanges have been going up. The “all exchanges inflow” is an indicator that shows the amount of Bitcoin that holders are depositing to exchanges on a given day. When the value of this metric moves up, it means more investors are sending their coins to exchanges. Holders usually deposit their BTC for withdrawing to fiat or for purchasing altcoins. So, this could be a sign of dumping, and may be bearish for the price. On the other hand, when the inflows decrease in value, it implies not many investors are depositing their Bitcoin to exchanges. Such a trend may mean that holders aren’t interested in selling at the moment. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the value of the BTC inflows over the past few months: Looks like the indicator’s value has been trending up recently | Source: CryptoQuant As the above graph highlights, BTC inflows have been on the rise lately. Before the crash in early December, the total inflows showed a sharp spike.

This may show that selling in the market might still be continuing. The above chart also has curves for two other indicators, the top ten whale inflows and the total inflow seven days mean. The latter, as its name already suggests, is just the seven days mean value of the normal metric. While the former is a metric that shows how the top ten whale inflows contribute to the total inflows. Examining the graph, it seems like this indicator also had a spike recently, showing that whales might be increasing their dumping.
