There is no clue as to who owns this wallet and what prompted this activity after such a long time. Probably the owner lost access to the wallets and somehow remembered the key. Many be this can be the beginning and several whales might be tempted to cash out and enjoy as opposed to holding and not living their money.  Ultimately, value means nothing if you are not able to use it for yourself.

There have been several cases of sleeping wallets showing some activity either transferring some value.  In the past, Bitcoin.com wrote:   “The wallet is known as the “1Feex” bitcoin wallet and it currently holds 79,957.21 BTC worth $3.7 billion. The wallet has never sent any bitcoin out of the address and it’s received a great deal of dust transactions since it was created on March 1, 2011.”

Several sleeping bitcoin wallets have woken up in 2022. Probably, Satoshi is beginning to cash out.

Now the news is about:  “A Bitcoin wallet that had been dormant for over 12 years woke up and withdrew all the 50 Bitcoin available on the balance for $2.191 million. In 2009, when these BTC were purchased, the price fluctuated around zero.”

Random Reflections:  Amazing growth for whoever held the BTC wallet for 12 years. HOLD paid off.

This is proof of the fact that long-term cryptocurrency investors have become millionaires and billionaires today.

Yes, from zero to 60 thousand dollars, of course, excellent economic growth.

I wonder what people will think in 10 years if the price of BTC grows high further and becomes multifold in value.

Currently, we have 12,071,000 Bitcoin that have not moved for at least 1+ years. Look how in Bull market peaks we see a huge decrease in circulating supply last active 1+ year and how at the end of a ‘bear market’ we see massive spikes.

Whales are accumulating and miners stopped selling.

All this is because experienced holders sell when the Bitcoin market is at bull run, and when the market declines they hold. Unlike amateur investors who buy during the bull market and sell during the bear market. Once you understand the market you’ll be rich.

Success in cryptocurrency entails knowing when to buy and when to sell, and that’s what professional investors has mastered. According to the technical graphs, it is easy to notice that professionals sell during the bull run and hold in bear market. That’s what different them from newbies.
