Five Bitcoin miner wallets that haven’t been used in more than 15 years have started moving coins, which has led to rumors about who owns them.
On September 20, blockchain data showed that 250 BTC had been moved from these wallets. In early 2009, just a few weeks after Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin, each of these wallets got 50 BTC as a block reward. It was between January 29 and February 2, 2009, not long after the Bitcoin blockchain went live on January 3, 2009.
Bitcoin Wallets Spark Speculation
The 250 BTC didn’t have much value when it was mined. Nakamoto made Bitcoin, and it hit $1 for the first time in 2011. Soon after, Nakamoto left the crypto world. CoinGecko says that these coins are worth about $15.9 million now, since one Bitcoin is worth about $63,000.
A lot of people in the cryptocurrency community are talking about these funds’ sudden action after being idle for a long time. Some people believe the wallets could belong to someone who found an old hard drive or someone who has been asleep for a long time and is now awake.
Some people think the wallets may have something to do with Nakamoto or Hal Finney, who was one of the first people to use BTC . An unknown sender sent Finney 10 BTC as the first BTC payment on January 12, 2009.
Wallet moves are still a mystery, which makes crypto fans wonder if these coins are linked to BTC unknown creator or to someone else who used them early on.
