Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Awakens: $2B Time Capsule Shakes Market After 14-Year Hibernation

Sleeping giant stirs—just as Wall Street tries to convince you they invented HODLing.

When ancient wallets move, markets listen. A cluster of untouched Bitcoin—minted when gas was $3/gallon and 'blockchain' sounded like a prison workout—just woke up swinging. The $2 billion transfer from 2011 marks the second-largest dormant coin movement this year, rattling exchanges already sweating the Mt. Gox repayments.

Why now? Three theories:

1. Early miner cashing out before the next halving
2. Institutional whale playing 4D chess with liquidations
3. Some guy finally remembered his password after 14 years

Whatever the reason, these coins hit the market like a boomerang—what goes around comes around at the worst possible time. Analysts are split: either this signals peak distribution...or some OG just made generational wealth look easy. Again.

Meanwhile, your financial advisor still thinks Bitcoin is 'too volatile' while quietly buying GBTC in their IRA.
