Satoshi Era Dormant Bitcoin Address Awakens After 10 Years!
Coincidences in crypto are nothing new. It has been giving rise to various and strange phenomena since its inception till now. For example, another recent incident occurred in which a dormant Bitcoin address from the era when Satoshi Nakamoto was active suddenly became active again. It became active after about 10 years. It had been dormant for a long time but yesterday suddenly funds were transferred from the Bitcoin wallet containing about 687 BTC ($43.9 million) to that account. This amount of money which was held till now was transferred to two different wallets yesterday.
The wallet initially had 625.43 bitcoins. Then transferred from that wallet to an address starting with "bc1qky" and 61.9 BTC to "bc1qdc". However, suddenly such transactions have created curiosity in the crypto community. Because the bitcoins in this wallet were very old which was from the Satoshi period. So it is not surprising that it arouses curiosity.
Hearing the term "Satoshi era" might be a bit of a guess that it basically refers to the days after the creation of Bitcoin. And the Satoshi era refers to a time when its pseudonymous founder, Nakamoto, was active online on forums. There are other reasons why this is intriguing. This is because some Satoshi-era wallets are often attributed to Satoshi.
Such incidents are not new in the digital market yet suddenly such incidents arouse curiosity. For example last year one such wallet became active which was dormant for a long time of around 14 years. Transferred 1,005 BTC mined in 2010 to that wallet. The wallet movement created the most buzz on social media. Because this huge amount of Bitcoin transfer created quite a discussion and curiosity in crypto circles as it was speculated to be Satoshi's wallet. But an important point is that even though this is a wallet from the Satoshi period, many people think that it is probably the wallet of early miners or buyers who have held them for a long time and are just trying to make a profit.
However, an important point here is that since the Satoshi era, a large amount of bitcoins have been lying dormant, which is worth a huge amount in the market. It is estimated that around 1.75 million Bitcoin wallets have remained inactive for over a decade. Many of these wallets have significant BTC holdings. Maybe many are holding on to sell at a higher price after mining, i.e. for extra profit. When the BTC price was trading in double digits and currently its worth was bought in millions. The huge amount of bitcoins that are held or dormant are worth about $121 billion at current prices. And the number of Bitcoins in dormant state is about 1,798,681

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Indeed if I was a miner too would likely develop mad patience and am sure this will pay off, possibly leaving it dormant for years to come and then selling when Bitcoin hits the million mark 😁
I learned a lot today through your post, thank you.
