been seeing chatter about something wild that happened today - 8 bitcoin wallets that went dark in 2011 just moved 80,009 btc worth $8.69 billion after 14.3 years

same early miner apparently controls 161,326 btc total according to @JA_Maartun. still has 120,326 btc sitting untouched

timing is interesting - tether minted $1b usdt hours before, with cumberland getting $555m and abraxas capital $434m, both moving fresh allocation to exchanges

meanwhile blackrock added another $221.28m to their etf position as part of the $500m daily pace

original cost basis on these coins was around $217k total. now worth $8.68b. that's a 39,800x return while btc sits at $109,720 just 1.8% off ath

deploying more capital - steady lads
