Various analytics showed that more crypto wallets have been acquiring more BTC over the past couple of weeks, with the acquisition reaching new peak levels. But, a comparison between BTC on-chain acquisitions and BTC price showed a considerable disparity between BTC wallets with less than 1 BTC (called small fishes) and those with at least 1K BTC (whales).
New Data Explains The Disparity Between The Two Holders
A March 12 data from an on-chain analytics platform (Ecoinmetrics) showed that there had been a significant rise in the number of small fishes who have increased their BTC holdings. This is in stark contrast to whales who are distributing their holdings.

“If the whales aren’t distributing, BTC may likely not sustain an uptrend because there won’t be sufficient momentum,” the report further remarked. The discrepancy proves that the whales’ moves regarding the leading digital asset are responsible for BTC to maintain its uptrend.
New Peak Levels For Accumulation Wallets
Lex Moskovski, a top crypto analyst on Twitter, predicted on March 1 that the BTC acquisition would reach new peak levels before this month was over. Moskovski based his prediction on data analysis from the famous on-chain analytics firm, Glassnode.

Glassnode defines the accumulation of wallets as BTC wallets that have been acquiring BTC since late last month without selling any of them. When there was a sudden rise in BTC price, Glassnode updated their information saying, whales’ BTC acquisitions didn’t cause the sudden rise. Instead, it was caused by the actions of a top wBTC custodian. This custodian created new addresses and transferred reserves into them.

It’s Time For Gen Z’s To Start Investing In BTC – Peter Brandt
Legendary investor and crypto advocate, Peter Brandt, has claimed that the younger generation must start investing in BTC from henceforth. He further advised these Gen Z’s to get certifications and degrees in blockchain and crypto-related disciplines. This would enable them to get a well-paying job quicker and pay off their student loans in the shortest time if they have one.
Brandt further suggested that regardless of the little belief that the authorities or individuals have in BTC, the Gen Z’s must realize that altcoins (including Ethereum) usually follow its path in price movement and performance.
Many Gen Z’s would do well to listen to Brandt’s advice. He has 40 years of experience in the financial investment sector and rose to prominence for accurately predicting the sharp decline in BTC price four years ago. He has continued to be a BTC advocate, suggesting that the digital asset is a viable investment based on the current financial market conditions. Brandt recently claimed that BTC’s uptrend is about 50% off its peak levels.
