Old Bitcoin Wallet Moves Millions After 13.5 Years of Inactivity
An old Bitcoin address transferred 64.59 BTC over the weekend after being inactive for over 13.5 years.
This wallet originally acquired the Bitcoin in February 2011, when the cryptocurrency was valued at $0.998 per BTC, making the total worth about $64.46 at that time.
According to BitInfoCharts , which tracked the transaction, this Bitcoin stash was worth $4.142 million when moved on Saturday, representing a staggering increase of over 6,426,000%.
