🔒 A Forgotten Wallet with 8,999 BTC
In 2011, a user bought some Bitcoin for just a few hundred dollars… and forgot about it. The wallet stayed inactive for 12 years. In 2023, the BTC moved again — now worth over $200 million.
Such cases are known in crypto as “sleeping whales” — holders of massive amounts who remain silent for years.
Sometimes, a single transaction can shake or inspire the entire market.
