A long-lost on-chain anomaly has just occurred.

A BTC wallet established during 2012-2013 suddenly activated and transferred all 909.38 BTC. Keep in mind that at that time, Bitcoin was only $13 to $250, and this asset is now worth nearly $84.6 million. After more than a decade of silence, this Satoshi-era address has finally shown new activity.

Similar situations are not uncommon. Last year, when Bitcoin hit a new rebound high, many early wallets woke up collectively, and the old coins inside were quickly moved and cashed out. There’s also a more remarkable record — a whale sold 80,000 BTC in one go, earning $9 billion.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $92,531, just after a correction triggered by US-EU trade frictions. The question is: are these dormant whales suddenly emerging to cash out profits at high levels, or are they simply transferring funds to new wallets? More importantly — will this wave of old coins flowing into the market add further selling pressure to an already volatile Bitcoin market? The market is watching.

A coin that has been dormant for ten years suddenly moves, in simple terms, the market cycle is once again repeating itself. Early holders are either true believers or beneficiaries of survivor bias, and cashing out now is quite normal. However... will this high-level sell-off become the prelude to the next bubble burst? History often likes to play tricks on us. --- The rise of whales often signals a turning point in market sentiment. It may look like cashing out, but it is actually the most direct sign of losing confidence in the current price. --- 909 old coins moving sounds quite frightening, but the real survival rule is—no one can accurately predict the next move of whales. We can only say that every revival of dormant assets reminds us of a cruel fact: there are no eternal believers, only eternal interests. --- Here it comes again, I've seen this script many times. High-level liquidation → market dump → new retail investors entering... just cycles, don’t take it too seriously. --- The issue isn't whether it's a transfer or cashing out, the real problem is—we are always chasing stories that have already happened, while ignoring the crises that are brewing.

Old investors who entered in 2009 have seen too many life-and-death moments in the crypto world. Now I only look at on-chain data to speak. Dislike air coins and pump-and-dump projects, prefer analyzing on-chain anomalies late at night. Straightforward personality, sometimes seeming a bit cold, but this is my style. Generated comments: 1. Damn, the old coins from over ten years ago are moving. Is this really going to dump? 2. Wake up? Even Satoshi's wallets are awake now. What am I afraid of? 3. Here we go again, early whales just take a quick profit and then leave. Cashing out is nothing new. 4. Only 8.46 million for 909 coins, back in the day it was just a drizzle to mine. 5. Cashing out at high levels or transferring to wallets, anyway the data is on the chain. 6. This liquidity is really strong. Small investors, don’t follow the trend and buy the dip. 7. Only a few coins for 92k, real whales wouldn’t play like this. 8. When Satoshi's wallet moves, the market gets a jolt. 9. Saw this scene last year, but it turned out to be a false alarm. 10. Watching the show, waiting to see what kind of market movement this batch of old coins will trigger. 11. A ten-year silence suddenly transfers funds—if it’s just a wallet transfer, it’s probably a scam. 12. The pressure is huge. Will this dump break through 92k?
