Zombie Bitcoin Wallets Awaken After 14 Years—Move $2.1B in Epic Transfer

Talk about a crypto resurrection. Dormant Bitcoin wallets—untouched since the early days of Satoshi's playground—just coughed up $2.1 billion in a single jaw-dropping move. Was it a whale, a lost key recovery, or just proof that hodling beats Wall Street's 'strategic rebalancing'?

Timing is everything. These coins last moved when BTC traded for pocket change. Now? That stack could buy a small island—or a few shares of BlackRock's tokenized fund. The market barely flinched, because nothing says 'decentralized' like a few anonymous entities controlling fortunes.

One thing's clear: In crypto, your exit strategy might just be someone else's generational wealth. The blockchain never forgets—even when hedge funds wish it would.
