Crypto Chaos: Willy Woo Sells Bitcoin to Build Empires—Are You Next? 😱

Crypto Chaos: Willy Woo Sells Bitcoin to Build Empires—Are You Next? 😱

In the wild, wild world of crypto, there’s a beloved mantra that’s practically sacred: “Never sell your Bitcoin.” Yes, it’s the sort of thing that gets whispered in quiet corners of Twitter, preferably with a glass of kombucha in hand. But on May 13, our dear Willy Woo—who’s basically the oracle of all things Bitcoin—decided to shake the foundations. He announced he’s selling his BTC to invest in infrastructure companies. I mean, who needs HODLing when you can make *smart* moves? 😂

The crypto community responded with the enthusiasm of a crowd at a cheese rolling festival—booing, jeering, and calling him every name under the blockchain. But Willy, ever the charming enigma, had a reason. He’s not bearish—oh no—but rather, doing what any wise investor would: diversifying his lovely crypto fortune.

Woo’s Not Moving on Bitcoin — Just Amassing More Infrastructure

Despite his somewhat shocking confession, Willy’s stance remains bullish—kind of. Barely a week earlier, he predicted Bitcoin dominance would reach over 90% in the next decade and a half. (Yes, he’s that confident.) Years of being the market’s guru apparently haven’t made him forget the golden rule: “Buy the dip, and maybe sell some infrastructure companies later.”

His sudden decision? Just an off-the-cuff reply to The Bitcoin Therapist, who laments that some traders call everyone “retards”—a very professional tone, I must say. Woo explained he’d sold some BTC to a contractor, in what he called “adoption.” Just a little trade, folks, nothing dramatic. When pressed, he said he’s converting BTC into infrastructure investments because “this is how BTC wins.” Ah, the sweet smell of blockchain capitalism. 😏

TBH I’m in the process of getting rid of all my BTC. Buying BTC infrastructure companies with it.

But to your point, there was a time when BTC was climbing 30% a week, and OGs were giving away 5 BTC at a time. Ah, simpler times.

To justify his bold move, Woo reminisced about investing in Exodus Wallet back in 2016. Turns out, the profits are now 2.5 times bigger than from his original Bitcoin investments. So, he’s basically playing 3D chess while the rest of us are stuck on checkers.

He also pointed out that Bitcoin startups hold treasuries, so if a startup flops, at least they still have some BTC. Win-win, right? Well, unless you’re the one selling your Bitcoin, in which case—ouch. 😅

Excuse my language but you would have to be fucking retarded to sell your bitcoin right now.

When the screenshot of Woo’s confession hit Twitter, the reactions ranged from eye rolls to full-blown ridicule. The phrase “Legendary trader Willy Woo” was soon followed by memes mocking the very idea of selling the foundation of all things Bitcoin. Some accused Woo of losing his way since 2021, dismissing his moves as “not the same anymore.” Because, of course, in crypto, you’re either a prophet or a fool—there’s no in-between. 😂

LOL. Selling the actual infrastructure—the literal foundation of everything—to buy “infrastructure companies.”

Everyone these infra & treasuries companies will be buying Bitcoin anyway.

However, amidst the chaos, a rare beacon of sensibility appeared. Dan Sanchez, a product builder and that guy who actually pays people in BTC, pointed out that sometimes you just have to make impact, even if it costs you some gains. Because, darling, it’s not all about the numbers; it’s about doing something that matters. 💼✨

I’ve spent a lot of my Bitcoin on domains, projects, logos, people, data, and other resources. Does it freak me out that I could have WAY more liquidity than I do now? Sure does.

The bigger incentive is making an impact on people that provide real value—and that’s worth more than a quick flip.

The festive mood continued in December 2024 when Willy Woo announced he’s moved his BTC into ETFs—because who doesn’t love a good “peace of mind” purchase? Apparently, managing private keys is just too much of a hassle when you could be sipping margaritas on a beach.

⚠️ Disclosure ⚠️

I have transferred my bitcoin to ETFs.

Yes I know, not your keys, not your coins. But honestly, it’s easier to manage like stocks. Plus, peace of mind or something.

This move drew fire from every corner—maxis called him a heretic, skeptics cheered weakly, and Peter Schiff called it “Bitcoin abandoning its roots.” Meanwhile, fellow influencer Dan Held wisely pointed out that trusting yourself is better than trusting strangers with your crypto. Shocking, I know! 🤯

That’s not about being a maxi or not…

It’s about personal choice—control versus convenience. Do you trust yourself or someone else?

In Conclusion: To Sell or Not to Sell?

So, here’s the tea: whether you’re Willy Woo, David Bailey, or Plan B, the crypto crowd frowns upon selling. Or at least, they do if they find out. Perhaps the best motto is: “Never sell your Bitcoin—unless it’s a really good secret.”

And if you’re brave enough—or crazy enough—to break the sacred rule, just remember: immortality in crypto doesn’t come from trading it’s from hiding it well. 😉
