Brother where have you been?
Jesus every hour there is another one of these posts. I have no idea what the point of this is. Like Mr Whale is going to go dump all the coins on the exchanges with no set price and single-handedly crash Bitcoin.
$15k —-> $31.5M… that’s a pretty damn solid investment
Maybe a cracked wallet? I really doubt someone just held it there without doing a single transaction all this time. Even if that person was in prison.
Sigh…no one knows it’s a dormant “wallet”. We only can see addresses. Maybe this dormant address is part of a wallet that has been very active, and the owner finally decided to move his very old UTXOs from one address to another. Everyone talks about wallets when we truly have no ability to know that.
There is a bunch of forked shitcoins this person can get rid of.
Honestly.. how is this even news? People store money in their back yard all the time for longer than that.
You love to see it.
