Interestingly, an ancient Bitcoin address has recently awakened. This wallet, which has been accumulating BTC since late 2012, suddenly moved on January 20th — transferring out 909.38 Bitcoins, which is worth approximately $84.62 million at current market prices.

You might not imagine when these coins were acquired. Between December 2012 and April 2013, Bitcoin's price was still hovering between $50 and $100. If you reverse calculate based on current prices, it would have taken only a few hundred thousand dollars at that time to accumulate this amount. Such long-term holders taking action now will certainly attract market attention.

Wow, the 12-year-old old wallet is awake? I need to keep an eye on this dump. It's the same story of hundreds of thousands turning into 84.62 million, really messing with my mindset. The worst thing is when these big holders who have been dormant for years suddenly move; who knows what they are planning next. The early coin hoarders are still here, we are not frogs. 908 Bitcoins being moved, how deep does this impact need to be? It's exhausting. Wait, is this a dump or a transfer? We need to see how it develops. Those who dared to go all-in back then were true believers; now they’ve turned into landlords, indeed. 909 Bitcoins, bro, my monthly salary can only buy a small part of that. When such old addresses move, it’s a sign that the market is about to stir up trouble.

This is the legendary long-term holder. A single move is over 80 million. How calm do you have to be for this operation?

Whoa, this guy has been holding since the $50 era? Now one move is over 80 million, this is truly a mind-blowing return. --- Wait, what if he dumps the market... Long-term holders suddenly clearing out might be a bit cautious. --- I just want to know, since 2012 until now, how strong must the mentality be? Those mid-term halts were really tough to endure. --- Selling 909 Bitcoins all at once, how urgent must that be? Or just want to cash out for consumption? Feels like it might impact the price a bit. --- Ancient wallet awakening, sounds like a ghost story haha, but this really is a signal of big players. --- Really, turning hundreds of thousands into over 80 million, that's a bit crazy... What era was that? I thought Bitcoin was just a joke. --- The question is, why is this guy only acting now? Did he only remember after a huge surge, or is there another hidden reason?

Damn, this guy is probably about to dump... Wait, isn't this price increase ridiculous? 909 Bitcoins only worth 84 million, something's off Old holders panic at the slightest move, typical Should this money be sold in batches or all at once? The key is how he's going to play it next Are early accumulators all cutting losses at this stage? No worries, maybe he's just transferring wallets Here we go again with the story, was the cost in 2012 really that low? Someone's about to have noodles now
