If Satoshi is behind the 2010 wallets, it makes sense for them to leave the 2009 wallets alone to avoid drawing attention, BTCparser said.
Researchers have pitched a new theory about Satoshi Nakamoto — that the Bitcoin creator never went dormant and has been strategically cashing out from early Bitcoin wallets since 2019.
In a Nov. 19 post, Bitcoin research firm BTCparser said that there’s a trove of Bitcoin (BTC) wallet addresses created in 2010, each holding 50 Bitcoin, that never transferred until the first “awakening” in November 2019 — which they have called the “2010 megawhale.”
BTCparser’s theory suggests that Nakamoto owned these wallets and has been slowly selling their stash while deliberately leaving their 2009 wallets alone to avoid drawing attention.
