Whales Feast While Retailers Flee: A $5.3B BTC Tale 🐋💸
Winter’s chill crept into the Bitcoin plains, and lo, the titans of the blockchain awoke. With wallets flapping like scared chickens, the little guys clutched their coins tight-only to drop ’em at the first hint of rain. Meanwhile, the leviathans, those grizzled old sharks and whales, gnashed their teeth and dove headfirst into the dip. “Smart money,” they call it. A term so slick it could slide off a dollar bill.



![The computational scaling of the WISE algorithm reveals a performance trade-off: while total solution time and the identification of divergent Weinberg eigenvalues scale quadratically with the number of scattering channels [latex] \propto N^{2} [/latex], convergence of the Born series for both the regularized source vector and eigenvectors achieves linear scaling [latex] \propto N [/latex], suggesting a fundamental limit to efficiency as system complexity increases.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.01159v1/x4.png)
