Trump is suspected of manipulating the stock market with his addresses. Says things will go badly, so the market goes down. You can bet that the stock market will go down, and if correct, make money.

Someone bet Bitcoin would go down before Trump's recent speech that caused a market downturn. That person is now increasing the bet that Bitcoin will go down, and we don't know why. That person could have insider information, or that person could be making an awful bet.

Nobody is throwing half a billion dollars at an awful bet.

If it isn't, it's another orchestrated redistribution of wealth.

Something that out of sorts is exceptionally bizarre given the timing and the way things have been manipulated already.
