Ah, the weekend-when most mortals indulge in trivial pursuits such as brunch or binge-watching, yet here we are, witnessing a resurrection of biblical proportions. Four ancient Bitcoin wallets from 2012, dormant longer than many TikTok trends, suddenly sprang to life like groggy vampires stretching after a decade-long nap. Their mission? To shuffle 400 BTC (valued at $47.45 million) into modernity. Bravo, cryptic time travelers! 👏
August may not have matched July’s fiesta of forgotten funds, but it has been far from boring. Just days ago, TopMob reported on the reanimation of 3,000 BTC from 2015-a veritable parade of digital ghosts. And now, courtesy of btcparser.com, we learn that between blocks 909302 and 909427, four Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) wallets decided they’d had enough of their dusty retirement homes. Out came 400 BTC, stepping gingerly into shiny new Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2WPKH) addresses.
Each wallet transferred exactly 100 BTC to its own bespoke P2WPKH address, leaving no room for ambiguity-or creativity, apparently. The coins remain there as I write this ode to their liberation. For those keeping score, these old-school P2PKH wallets (1, 2, 3, and 4) handed their treasures over to sleeker counterparts (1, 2, 3, and 4). Meanwhile, the corresponding Bitcoin Cash (BCH), worth over $229,000, remains untouched in its original resting place, presumably waiting for its cue to join the party. 🎉
Three of these venerable wallets were born on June 5, 2012, while the fourth made its debut on July 2, 2012. Back then, 300 BTC fetched a princely sum of $1,602, and 100 BTC could be yours for a mere $663. Total investment? A laughable $2,265. Fast-forward to today, and selling those same coins would yield a return so absurd-20,949,877%-that even lottery winners might feel inadequate. 😅
Wallets from 2010 to 2012 rarely stir, preferring instead to haunt the blockchain like spectral relics. But with Bitcoin prices scaling Olympian heights, more and more of these slumbering giants are awakening, migrating into fresher formats or consolidating their riches. As previous reports suggest, these movements often reflect housekeeping rather than outright capitulation. Still, one wonders: will the next sleeping giant rise with similar fanfare, or will it vanish quietly into the night? Only time-and perhaps a well-timed block explorer-will tell. 🕰️
