  1. tldr; An ‘ancient’ Bitcoin whale, identified by Arkham Intelligence, moved nearly $3.6 million worth of Bitcoin to the Kraken exchange after a decade of inactivity. This whale, who mined Bitcoin shortly after its creation in 2009, holds over 1,189 Bitcoins valued at approximately $77 million. Such movements can impact market sentiment, as large sales may pressure Bitcoin’s price. The coins originate from the ‘Satoshi-era,’ highlighting the rarity and potential market influence of these transactions.

    I don’t know why it bothers me so much that people insist on saying ancient whales.

    It was not even 15 years ago 😂

    They just find out “oh bitcoin is a thing now? Didn’t I use to have some of those”
