Bitcoin whale breaks its silence! After a tumultuous run for its flagship cryptocurrency, LookOnChain has revealed that two deep-pocketed wallets holding 500 BTC each have awakened. The amount is over 60 million dollars!

Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to yo-yo, threatening to drop to $50,000. But for some whales, it's time to make a big move and transfer his precious BTC.
Crypto News revealed that a Bitcoin wallet that had been dormant for nearly 11 years suddenly transferred 1,000 Bitcoin (BTC) within 20 minutes, raising expectations in the cryptocurrency community.
When first fueled in September 2013, the “16vRqA” and “1DUJuH” wallets each received 500 BTC. At the time, Bitcoin was worth just $124 each. But now, Bitcoin has grown, and the value of 1,000 BTC is more than $60 million, an incredible increase of 49,274.2%.
The sudden awakening of these old wallets has taken the cryptocurrency community by storm, fueling intense speculation about their owners and their intentions.
Some wonder if these funds come from the famous Silk Road stash, perhaps in the hands of the US government. The more fanciful are talking about the hypothesis that Bitcoin's mysterious inventor, Satoshi Nakamoto, will return to claim his due in millions of coins.
The market is closely monitoring these old wallets because if they funnel valuable coins into the free market, it can disrupt market trends. The cryptosphere is holding its breath in hopes of discovering the intentions of this mysterious crypto whale.
The mystery of dormant whales
The cryptocurrency market is holding its breath in anticipation of the emergence of the long-dormant Bitcoin whale. These movements are often interpreted as bearish signals and can have a significant impact on market trends if these valuable coins are sold.
Despite the impressive profit margins, owners of these wallets are in no rush to cash out the profits they earn through the exchange. Instead, they moved their assets to anonymous wallets, thereby adding further mystery to their intentions.
In the world of Bitcoin, many holders have stored their coins through various market cycles. More than 1.8 million Bitcoins have been deemed “lost” and have been locked away in dormant wallets for years.
The sudden resurgence of this dormant whale highlights the value of long-term holding in the Bitcoin community. But data shows that as activity in these dormant whales intensifies, it is often preceded by a reversal, usually a decline, in the trend.
However, despite these movements, the overall activity of dormant whales on the Bitcoin network remains relatively low. BTC is currently trading at $61,000, but only 1,056 BTC has moved in this category, a far cry from the 10,000 units seen at the previous high. Predictions vary, with some suggesting a possible rally to $72,000 and others warning of an impending collapse. In any case, the altcoin season is expected to be eventful.
