For a crypto advocate, New Year’s Eve is not only the celebration of the start of a new year — just a couple of days later, on Jan. 3, a significant anniversary occurs.

The genesis block contained 50 BTC, the block reward at the time.
The wallet would remain untouched until a trend emerged within the crypto community where crypto advocates would transfer BTC to the wallet as a tribute to Nakamoto.
