Seriously, could this awakened 80,000 BTC giant whale be him?

Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht

Founded Silk Road in January 2011, arrested in 2013, sentenced to life in 2015, and granted clemency in January 2025, perfectly aligning with the timeline of this giant whale's 14 years of slumber.

He controlled a large amount of early BTC back then; when Silk Road was shut down, the Americans confiscated 144,000 BTC, but how many addresses on the chain remain untracked? No one knows.

So, this 80,000 BTC cannot be ruled out as old addresses that Ross may have reactivated after his release.

If true, one can only say that indeed, serving time is the most hardcore way to Hodl. 😅
