🧵 The Wallet That Woke Up 🐋
In late 2024, @WhaleWatch24 sent a shocking alert:
🐋 Wallet 0x4F…7a12 (inactive 11 yrs) just moved 10,000 $BTC (~$650M). 🚨
That wallet hadn’t moved since 2013. It was linked to the earliest days of #bitcoin —possibly to someone close to Satoshi.
Minutes later, a mysterious smart contract dropped on Ethereum:
"The Final Block."
It contained a cryptographic riddle referencing the Genesis Block:
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."
It kicked off a global puzzle. The reward? Access to 1M $GEN tokens—no pre-mine, no dev wallet. Just pure code and curiosity.
Within days, the internet went wild.
Vitalik called it “beautiful chaos.”
Snowden tweeted: “Truth buried in hashes.”
Rumors swirled—was it Satoshi? An AI? Elon?
🎮 After 17 days, 19-year-old Eva Novak cracked it live on Twitch.
The vault unlocked. $GEN launched. Within 48h it hit $3B market cap and listed on Coinbase, Binance, and Robinhood.
But no one ever claimed authorship.
The original wallet? Silent.
The contract only responds with:
“When the last key turns, you’ll know the door.”
