Key facts:
The coins correspond to the 9th of February, only a month after the creation of bitcoin.For over 11 years, the BTC were not moved. The figure represents almost $ 500,000.A fact rare in the ecosystem of the cryptocurrencies happened this Wednesday 20 may. Then from that 50 BTC, and mined in the early days of the operation of bitcoin, were transferred after spending 11 years with no evidence of movement.The coins were mined on the 9th of February 2009, only a month after the activation of bitcoin as criptomoneda, something that raised a powder keg of speculation among enthusiasts, who pointed out that it is possible that Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of bitcoin, could be behind the transaction.At the current price of 9.520 dollars per unit, the 50 BTC represent around 476.000 us dollars.On Twitter, users pointed out that Nakamoto, or a person close to him, it would be the author of the transfer recorded in the block 631.058. The address from where you sent the funds only records two transactions: the of this Wednesday, for 50 BTC and the February 9, 2009, when they were given 50 BTC as a reward for mining in the network, and that was included in the block 3.654.The block 631.058 recorded the mysterious transaction of 50 BTC. Source: Screen Capture.”Someone today sent 50 $BTC, which was extracted in February 2009, when only a few people could do it, including Satoshi,” the governor said from the Twitter account @ICODrops. The signature analysis Glassnode reported that, according to information obtained, small amounts of BTC were also moved to Coinbase (0,004 BTC) and Coin Payments (0,003 BTC).
According to our information, quantities less than this transaction of Bitcoin have been moved to @coinbase (0.004 BTC) and @CoinPaymentsNET (0.003 BTC).Glassnode.
Another view was the analyst’s Joseph Young who was asked why anyone would want to transfer 50 BTC that were never mobilized. “50 BTC of February 2009 they are moving. That is only a month after it was extracted as the first block of bitcoin. There are not many people that can do this, perhaps close associates of Satoshi. My question is why, not who, sent 50 BTC for the first time in more than 10 years,” shared Young.
What Satoshi or a lucky?
It would be the first time since August, 2017, that a user spends 50 BTC that were mined in the first few weeks after the creation of bitcoin, as reported on Twitter by the user @khannib. From 2015 would have been recorded only 9 transfers of this type, that is to say, of bitcoins created in the first months of 2009.
This is the first time since August of 2017 that any person spends coins beginning of 2009.Antoine Le Calvez, analyst.
For @YassineEraman what happened is not evidence that Nakamoto is behind the transaction, but rather that someone found a hard drive with the coins and became a millionaire.Even the service Coinmetrics was a curious drop in the market after @whale_alert released a tweet announcing the transaction. The operation was confirmed at approximately 12:54 pm this Wednesday, (standard time UTC), only minutes after being sent.The message of the Twitter account warned about the move shortly before 3:00 in the afternoon, followed by a low that took the price of BTC a few 9.780 dollars to 9.300, according to Coingecko.The movements of bitcoin mined in 2009 are rare. Are most common movements of big amounts of bitcoins mined in the following years, and they are also alerted by several accounts on Twitter.Breaking News reported in September of last year about 1,000 million dollars in bitcoin had been transferred to an address not identified, which generated concerns in the community about the safety of mobilizing large amounts of money in the network.
