That’s just a month after the first bitcoin block was mined. There are not many people who can do this, perhaps close collaborators from Satoshi. My question is why, not who is sending 50 BTC for the first time in over 10 years. ” divided Young.

Satoshi or a happy man?

To the @ YassineEraman What happened is not proof that Nakamoto is behind the transaction, but that someone found a hard drive with the coins and became a millionaire.

Even the coinmetrics service Registration a strange decline in the market afterwards @wal_alert He tweeted and announced the transaction. The process was confirmed this Wednesday at approximately 12:54 p.m. (UTC standard time), just a few minutes after dispatch.
