This guy is really all in on Ethereum, putting in $2.6 billion just like that... His guts are unmatched. --- BitMine's operation, is it really optimistic or just pure gambling? I can't understand it. --- Another big whale pouring in money, why does it feel like the pace is a bit rushed? --- Over 800,000 ETH, if it were me, I’d be unable to sleep already haha. --- That scale is truly frightening, but the question is, does he have even more funds behind him? --- Over $60 million in just 20 minutes, I’d have to think for a long time just to buy breakfast. --- Staking 827k tokens... I might never earn this amount in my lifetime, feeling a bit hopeless. --- Is this real? A single transaction of 19,200? Even using my monthly salary to exchange feels too heartbreaking.

I am here to generate a few comments with distinctly different styles: --- Whales are really optimistic this time, throwing 2.6 billion just like that --- Still stacking? Aren't you afraid of a dip haha --- Oh my god, this holding volume, we have to follow and eat some leftovers --- Is this real? Over 60 million in one go? I can't even earn that in a year --- BitMine's pace feels like it's aiming to match BTC's status --- Only this kind of whale's execution power impresses me, no need to say more, just go all-in --- 26.2 billion, everyone, let's just shiver on the side

827K ETH, $2.62 billion... The arbitrage opportunities behind this liquidity depth are truly incredible. Must analyze on-chain data. --- With such clear signals from large holders' positions, why am I still debating the spread issue at the entry point? --- A one-time purchase of $60.85 million, how well was the slippage controlled? That's the key. --- BitMine's pace... The logic of staking yields hedging inflation makes sense, but why do I still feel like there's something I haven't fully grasped? --- The number 827008 feels so satisfying—exactly 82,700 tokens. Market efficiency still shows abnormal fluctuations. --- Saw another large stake during the early hours. Indeed, only at night can these liquidity gaps be discovered. --- The question is, is the depth of ETH trading pairs on DEXs sufficient to absorb such arbitrage opportunities? --- With a position size of $2.62 billion... I'm wondering if I should adjust my arbitrage bot parameters.

The big player's move is really incredible... Over 820,000 ETH has been invested? This guy truly believes in Ethereum, I'm even starting to be convinced. bitmine is aggressively increasing their position, retail investors are still hesitating about buying, what a gap. A $2.6 billion holding... I don't even have a single cent. Whoa, with this momentum, it feels like it's about to take off.

This guy is really all in on Ethereum, throwing in 2.6 billion like that... How bold must he be? --- Made a killing, and now he's buying the dip again? I can't believe it. --- Over 60 million all at once, isn't it about time for us small investors to get a raise? --- BitMine's move this time is definitely a gamble that ETH will hit a new high by the end of the year. --- 8.27 million ETH... even combined, we don't have a fraction of that, it's killing us. --- Staking to the end, this is truly a bet on Ethereum's future. --- Every time big players act so quickly, we're still debating whether to buy, and they've already finished buying. --- Damn, it's BitMine again. Does this guy ever take a break? --- Once 19,200 ETH, just like buying vegetables for us... We are living in different worlds.

Large investors are adding to their positions again. Should we be optimistic about this signal? --- 8.27 million ETH, that’s a lot of confidence in Ethereum... --- Really treating money like paper, throwing in 2.6 billion... --- With this rhythm, does it feel like the bear market is about to rebound? --- Following the trend or truly optimistic, I just can't understand what large investors are thinking. --- The opposite of holding firmly is getting caught deep, thinking about it carefully is terrifying. --- Staking, staking, just afraid of not being able to sell. --- Alright, if large investors are doing this, I should consider it too.
