Finney, Szabo or Dai?
That may have some basis, you know. Let’s just remind you that in January 2009, first Bitcoin transaction was made. On January 12, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto sent 50 BTC to Hal Finney in block 170. The cost of the transaction, like so many in the early days, was 0 BTC.
Except Finney, there weren’t that many people involved with the cryptocurrency. Some of them include Nick Szabo and Wei Dai.
When the Bitcoin was mined, on February 9, 2009, it was practically worthless. Bitcoin didn’t really have a value until Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoin on May 22, worth around $20 at the time, giving it an approximate value of $0.002. On October 5 that year, the exchange rate was first announced at 1 USD to 1,309.03 BTC – putting its value at $0.0007.
That Bitcoin is now worth $488,400 at a current Bitcoin price of $9,768.
Crypto Community Is Watching
However, even though anything can be true nowadays, probably it wasn’t Satoshi who moved these coins. Wallets associated with Satoshi’s estimated 1 million BTC supply are watched closely and aren’t related to the wallet in question. However, that doesn’t have to mean that this couldn’t be someone from his circle of friends or at least someone close to him.
However, we have to admit that it is utterly unusual that this owner of that many years suddenly decided to move their BTC as more and more Bitcoin investors are beginning to hold for the long term.
There is a certain possibility though, that the BTC is being mobilized in order to be sold. One thing is certain. Crypto space will be for sure monitoring each and every blockchain transaction closely and putting them under a microscope hoping to make sense out of the unnatural transaction. Also, there is a possibility that someone found an old wallet. This wouldn’t be the first time though. In March, a Bitcoin miner stumbled on one of his old wallets, which contained 1,000 Bitcoin, worth $8 million at the time.
