Yesterday someone activated dormant bitcoin, 8 wallets of 10,000 bitcoin each, and moved 40,000 of those bitcoin (to another address, not on any exchange, so no effect on Bitcoin price.) The bitcoin had sat there untouched since 2011, and are believed to have come from early mining pools.
So far, noone has any idea who this is.
Someone asked, “What if it’s Ross Ulbricht?” (That would be truly amazing, and seemingly impossible.)
If cashed to dollars, would be over $8 billion. So the owner of these is a billionaire.
