Bitcoin wallet wakes up from its slumber after eight years

 


After years of abstinence, a wallet with 321 Bitcoin wakes up from its slumber. The reactivation is one of a series of start-ups in the past few months.

Anyone who saw the vision of Bitcoin early on should now have a decent cushion. Accordingly, wallets from the gray past of crypto are the gold treasures of today. Now such a treasure has been reactivated after eight years.


More precisely, it is a Bitcoin wallet from 2013 with total assets of 321 Bitcoin - current equivalent: almost 16 million US dollars. The digital wallet hadn't shown any transaction activity in years. But now emerged from the shadows with a transfer of almost 198 BTC to an unknown wallet. This is shown by the transaction tracker Whale Alert.

Community puzzles

The reactivation causes speculation within the Bitcoin community. A user pointed out several possible scenarios on Twitter :

All these addresses of whales that are now being activated. Is Satoshi Nakamoto making a comeback? Or is it a patient investor who is just about to activate his or her wealth? Maybe it's someone who lost their private keys a long time ago? Everything is possible. 

Another user thinks an exploit of the seed phrase is likely. Too many old Bitcoin wallets have recently been put back into operation for that.


In fact, several older digital wallets have woken from their slumber in the past few months. Just a few days ago someone reactivated an old wallet with assets of 225 Bitcoin. Most of the BTC were redistributed to other wallets.

Glassnode: "illiquid Bitcoin on the rise"

Observations from Glassnode also fit in with this. The Swiss on-chain analysis company observed an increase in illiquid BTC in connection with the Bitcoin supply.

These are Bitcoin that are sent to addresses that have hardly made any sales in the past. In general, Glassnode interprets this fact as bullish, as it indicates an accumulation on the part of investors.

Meanwhile, the price of digital value storage is slowly creeping back to the USD 50,000 mark. The cryptocurrency gained 1.4 percent overnight, trading at $ 49,383 at the time of going to press.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
