The broader cryptocurrency community also took note of the BTC awakening, with some questioning whether Bitcoins pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto was moving coins: Looks like Satoshi is back!
Kretov informed Cointelegraph that it was unlikely that Bitcoins developer was quietly moving virgin BTC, recommending that a long term holder or entity connected with previous dormant Bitcoin awakenings lagged the transaction. The researcher included that the holder might be offering Bitcoin in an over the counter deal:” I may anticipate the cost to be greater than the current market because these are 100% tidy Bitcoins. Not to mention how old they are which makes them specifically appealing to crypto-numismatics.” Kretov thinks that the wallet might be controlled by the exact same user that had previously moved Bitcoin from wallets in 13 various instances between 2020 and 2021.

The present awakening is much closer to those 13 circumstances.” As Cointelegraph recently reported, another inactive BTC wallet holding over 1,037 coins was transferred to a new address.
