12 years ago, the cryptocurrency was worth less than $1; now, 150 bitcoins are worth more than $6 million in total

On April 8, three bitcoin wallets that had remained inactive since 2009 became active. Unidentified individuals transferred a total of 150 BTC in three equal transactions.

Twelve years ago, the cryptocurrency was worth almost nothing and it didn't even have an official exchange rate because there were no cryptocurrency exchanges.
Now the value of 150 BTC is estimated at more than $6 million.

Transactions were recorded by Twitter-bot Whale Alert.
Also similar transfers of 50 BTC inactive since November 2009 occurred on April 7.

Moving inactive bitcoins does not necessarily indicate a sale.

The transaction only indicates that the digital coins were transferred from one address to another. Открыть/Комментировать
