It's about having the ability to run a one-time-only unit test against Bitcoin. Yes, there's all sorts of ways to cash out, that's fine. I want to run a specific at-scale load test, a resilience challenge, to be run against Bitcoin.

Can one person succeed at a serious and dedicated effort to withdraw twelve billion dollars USD from Bitcoin at once?

If it succeeds, cool. If it fails, it'll be spectacular. Let's do it. (To me, success is "they get a few billion dollars USD out and bitcoin doesn't crash".)
