Recently, an interesting on-chain anomaly has appeared—a wallet that has been inactive for 13 years suddenly woke up. 909 Bitcoins were moved out from a deep dormant state. These coins were valued at less than $7 each back then, but today they are worth nearly $85 million. Since the time of purchase until now, the increase has approached 14,000 times.

The actions of these ancient whales always attract special attention. Are they preparing for a large-scale deployment? Or are they simply moving assets? The same situation has recently appeared on the Ethereum side—frequent movements of large holdings often trigger chain reactions in the market within a short period.

Honestly, every move of these whales can reflect some subtle signals in the market. Their holdings are large enough to influence short-term price trends. Whether transferring in or out of exchanges, activating cold wallets, or transferring to hot wallets, these details may hide different intentions.

What do you think about this wave of anomalies? Are you bearish or bullish? Each time such events occur, they tend to spark considerable discussion.

Ancient whales are awakening, and this time it’s probably going to trigger another wave of bloodshed and chaos. Is it really just about transferring wallets, or are they about to make a move? Feeling a bit anxious. 14,000 times leverage, this is the real secret to wealth. We retail investors can only watch. When the whales move, retail investors tremble and shiver. This is the truth of the market, right? Anyway, there must be some trick behind these old whales’ actions, but it’s hard to tell if it’s good or bad. This rhythm feels off, as if something big is brewing. It’s all old coins being active, so what does that mean? Has someone started to cut losses?

ngl, the whole "ancient whale awakening" narrative hits different when you realize most of these moves are just... boring rebalancing. everyone's obsessed with the macro signal when it's probably just cold storage maintenance lol

This guy must be making a fortune, I'm breaking apart --- Wow 14,000 times, what kind of mindset do you need to hold for 13 years? --- Really? With such a large amount, wouldn't moving the market cause an explosion? --- The giant whale awakening is a signal, preparing to shake out the market. I bet five bucks --- Bitcoin worth 9 billion can move just like that, our small retail chips are really just for fun --- Did it transfer to the exchange? That's crucial, otherwise you can't see anything --- Always guessing like this, if you're right you don't make any profit, if you're wrong you get slapped in the face haha --- Early coin buyers were risking their lives, now these gains are life itself --- I wonder when we can become that kind of old whale too. Thinking about it, it's a bit like a dream --- Hibernating for so long and suddenly moving, I suspect the successor has started using it

Damn, bought it 13 years ago for 7 bucks, now it's multiplied by 14,000 times? I wish I could travel back in time. When whales move, the market trembles—this is true big player level; we retail investors are just here to watch the show. Is this move to dump or to lay out for the next round? Honestly, I can't see through it. Just waiting to be cut like a leek. From the activation of the cold wallet, it doesn't seem like a simple transfer; there should be follow-up actions. Oh my god, 909 Bitcoins—that's a number I could never earn in my lifetime. Truly impressive.
