๐๐ฅ A legendary Bitcoin whale just woke up!
An ancient Bitcoin whale โ famous for holding coins mined between 2009 and 2011, also known as the โSatoshi Eraโ โ has made headlines again with another massive transfer. These early BTCs have been untouched for years, making any movement from them a major event in the crypto world ๐๐.
๐ After already turning heads on July 4th by moving 80,009 BTC, this mysterious whale is back โ this time shifting 20,009 BTC (worth around $2.42 billion ๐ค) from two dormant wallets to a new address starting with "bc1qmu".
๐ธ The transaction used a modern low-fee address format and, so far, the coins havenโt moved any further. The identity of the wallet owner remains a total mystery ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ.
๐ฐ๏ธ Bought for pennies, now worth billions ๐ฐ
๐น On April 2, 2011, this whale acquired 20,000 BTC at just $0.78 per coin โ today, that stash alone is valued at $2.37 billion ๐ฎ๐.
๐น On May 4, 2011, six other wallets connected to this same entity bought 60,009 BTC for $3.37 each. Those holdings are now worth over $7.19 billion ๐ผ๐ฅ.
๐ Why this is so special
These coins are known as "vintage BTC", mined or bought during the early days of Bitcoin when Satoshi Nakamoto was still active in the community ๐ง โ๏ธ.
That makes them extremely rare and historically significant โ a kind of digital treasure chest from the dawn of the crypto revolution
With whales from the Satoshi era stirring again, the market is watching closely. Is this just portfolio management, or a sign of something bigger on the horizon? ๐๐ #bitcoin #BTC
