- A Bitcoin wallet that has been dormant for 13 years recently transferred 64 BTC, sparking curiosity about why these wallets suddenly become active.
- Many of these wallets were created during the period and are often associated with the mysterious f, a figure known as "Satoshi," whose activation can impact the market.
- The current price of Bitcoin is $64,987, and the current price movement is influenced by global factors and potential resistance levels, resulting in transient upward and downward fluctuation
A Bitcoin wallet that has been inactive for 13.6 years recently made a transaction of 64 BTC, equivalent to 4.1 million dollars. This has sparked interest among crypto enthusiasts about the activation of old wallets. The transaction was initially flagged by Whale Alert, an on-chain data tracker, which also noted the long period of inactivity for this wallet.
The wallet falls under the first generation of wallets called the “Satoshi era” from late 2009 to 2011. Wallets of this period are essential since they represent users who either mined or directly bought bitcoins when the price was approximately equal to zero. It is interesting when such wallets may remain inactive for an extended period and then become active again.
Some of the old Bitcoin accounts that have not been used for the past few years have recently been made active. For instance, a wallet linked to plate number 1 last got active on 21st August 2010 and has recently been active.In this case, it has seen its value rise by over 11,1058%. In the same way, another previously inactive wallet associated with plate number 2 was also awakened on 19th August following inactivity similar to this one, and its value rose by 8,844%. Such observations indicate that old bitcoins held for many years may come into the market, but the reasons for doing so are unknown.
Bitcoin Market Reaction and Price Movements
The activation of a previously inactive account coincides with increased fluctuations in the value of Bitcoin. The digital currency reached its highest level of $64,987 after US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell hinted at the possibility of increasing monetary expansion.
These comments appear to have contributed to the new rally in Bitcoin, although the price has somewhat receded in the past few days.Analysts suggest that Bitcoin needs to break a key resistance level at $67,300 to potentially reach new highs around $80,500.
