The whale moved BCH before doing the mainnet transaction?

A bunch of reporting I saw said the whale didn't do a test transaction but a guy I was talking to at a meetup last night mentioned it and I hadn't seen that in any of the reporting. 7/03/2025, 21:08:52 10,000 BCH https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/bch/932deee311857b585f637d1ec15faf54dcc35d6c19e32b3bbefbfd6dade53c99 https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/bch/12tLs9c9RsALt4ockxa1hB4iTCTSmxj2me 7/03/2025, 22:39:25 10,000 BTC https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/9d5d67169a37222720b407c99939f7baa40587eef9ab16ec3a17c7c856ef9045 https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/12tLs9c9RsALt4ockxa1hB4iTCTSmxj2me
Am I missing something?

afaict the only reason to do a test transaction is that you're concerned about the entropy of your private key and want to see if it gets sniped. Otherwise, so long as you're doing typical best practices things and verifying addresses match, there's not much point in doing a test transaction.
I saw a thread on X mentioning the BCH liquidation. These forks are like dividends, so it makes sense to liquidate them. It's what I'd do - ideally before the novelty has worn off.

If he liquidates the BCH he is no longer anonymous.

He certainly risks it, unless he anonymizes himself properly.

Can you explain your question a bit better? BCH and BTC are two separate blockchains, even if that address is from before the hard fork.

I was seeing tik toks and tweets saying the whale did no test transactions but if you look they kinda did because they moved the BCH first. This is worth a lot less so presumably they did it to make sure it was going to work before they moved the real bitcoin but I haven't seen anyone talking about it moving on BCH first

Ah ok! Your question was about the test transaction. The thread title threw me off.

so you would leave old coins on BCH and not sell them to buy BTC? Edit: Ah that could be a downside #1030614

If in 2025 you still have BCH shitcoins, YOU ARE A FUCKING RETARDED. Dumping BCH for more BTC was a 2017 thing, not in 2025. Also just think about who the fuck is that retard that will give 10k BTC for 10k BCH nowadays? You have to be totally insane retard to do that !

Without the security and economic framework provision of the nation state most people would be shivering quivering wrecks...only fucking retards don't understand this!!! The forks were fun - and then they stopped. Anyone with 10,000 btc + 10,000 bch is not a complete retard...surely?
