50 BTC that had been dormant since 2010 were moved. The information was reported by the Telegram channel Goldfoundinshit citing BTCparser.com, a resource monitoring on-chain activity.

In July, a similar episode occurred: an unknown user moved 50 BTC mined on May 24, 2010 for the first time.

In May, 50 bitcoins mined on February 9, 2009 were moved. At that time the Bitcoin network had been running for just over a month. Many users speculated that the sender might be Satoshi Nakamoto, but analysis of the so-called Patoshi patterns did not confirm the hypothesis.

In May, 145 addresses created in 2009-2010 were awakened as well. From them, a message accusing Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright of lying and fraud was sent.

In the context of the Kleiman v. Wright case, the latter asserted that these 145 addresses belonged to him.

In August, Crystal Blockchain estimated the number of bitcoins on addresses that had not conducted transactions since January 1, 2015 at 3.76 million.

At the end of September, the number of bitcoins that had remained unmoved for three to five years reached its maximum in 22 months.

Earlier, the decline in Bitcoin exchange balances was linked to the arrival of a new wave of long-term investors.
