From $5 to $5 Million: Bitcoin Whale Moves BTC Mined 15 Years Ago

A Bitcoin whale just shook the market—moving a cache of BTC mined back in 2010 when the network was still a hobbyist experiment. The coins, worth roughly $5 at the time, now sit at a jaw-dropping $5 million valuation.

Who said hodling doesn’t pay? This anonymous miner-turned-tycoon just schooled every Wall Street ’genius’ who called crypto a fad. The ultimate revenge: outperforming hedge funds by doing absolutely nothing for 15 years.

Funny how the ’smart money’ still can’t wrap its head around an asset that appreciates 1,000,000x while they chase 2% bond yields. Maybe they’ll finally buy the dip—right after the next ATH.
