Hold onto your digital hats, folks! In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, three wallets from 2013 decided to wake up from their 12-year slumber and shift around 300 BTC-now worth a jaw-dropping $35 million-like they just found some loose change under the couch cushions.
From $40K to Over $35 Million: 2013 Bitcoin Moves After 12-Year Hibernation
Picture it: blocks 915227 through 915232. Our sleepy heroes (or maybe villains?) jolted awake, complete with bedhead and questionable fashion choices. As detailed by btcparser.com data, these P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) wallets shifted 300 BTC for the first time since Fedora hats were still trendy back in September 2013, when the price was shockingly low at $135 per coin-making their entire stash worth merely $40,500. Ah, the good old days!
Fast-forward to today, and we see this same hoard has ballooned by a staggering 86,419%. That’s more than just a financial win; it’s a bakery delivering three-tier wedding cakes to your doorstep! Each wallet, like a well-read gossip magazine, casually spilled 100 BTC into a shiny new P2SH (Pay-to-Script-Hash) address that conveniently ties back to Bitstamp. What a coincidence, right? It’s almost as if they’re planning a big party… or possibly just a high-stakes game of musical chairs.
While some of those long-forgotten bitcoin wallets have jumped back into the wild recently (and likely traded for newer toys), it seems others are just rebranding for the 21st century. Apparently, these wallets are getting a makeover into formats that could withstand the theoretical meltdown brought on by quantum computing. Because, let’s face it, who wants to be robbed by a computer that can compute faster than you can click “add to cart”?
Both P2PKH and P2PK wallets expose their public keys when coins are spent-think of all the embarrassing selfies!-and this is where the danger lies. Enter quantum algorithms like Shor’s, which could theoretically reverse-engineer private keys from those exposed public keys faster than you can say, “I’m not a cryptographer.” Unsurprisingly, long-term holders-yes, even the ones clutching coins from Bitcoin’s earliest days-are now migrating their funds into shinier, quantum-resistant address types. Smart move, my friends!
Since all 300 coins from 2013 have funneled straight into Bitstamp, it heavily hints at a sell-off rather than a mere spring cleaning. Sure, quantum concerns have folks stirring, but this scenario reeks more of tax day than existential dread. With the exchange in the mix, it’s safe to bet these bitcoins weren’t just moving-they were actively flirting with the market!
