An ancient Bitcoin miner wallet just stirred after nearly 16 years of silence. The address moved 50 BTC—currently worth around $4.33 million—in a single transaction moments ago.
This stash was originally mined back on March 18, 2010, during Bitcoin's earliest days when mining rewards were still 50 BTC per block and the network was just finding its footing.
These old-timer wallets waking up always catch attention. Could be an early adopter finally cashing out, estate settlements, or someone who just found their old hard drive. Either way, it's a reminder of how far Bitcoin has traveled since those wild-west mining days.
