What happens if the mysterious creator of Bitcoin moves an untouched fortune of $63 billion?
Since the emergence of Bitcoin in 2009, its anonymous creator, known by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, has been a figure shrouded in mystery and speculation. In addition to his identity, one of the biggest enigmas in the cryptocurrency world is what happened to the more than 1 million bitcoins believed to be in digital wallets controlled by him.
These bitcoins were mined in the early days of the network, when the cryptocurrency was worth just a few cents, and have remained untouched for more than a decade. The immobility of these coins is one of the most discussed topics in the crypto community, since now that each unit of Bitcoin is worth more than $60,000, any movement could have a devastating impact on the price of the cryptocurrency, potentially causing a market crash.
