Last used in 2013, three years after the mysterious Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared from the public eye, the wallet contains 21 Bitcoins. At the current exchange rate, this amount of BTC is worth $1,307,996 in fiat.

— Whale Alert (@whale_alert) October 1, 2024On Oct. 1, the aforementioned data source also spotted two other ancient wallets that all of a sudden came out of oblivion, holding 2x and 3x BTC than the one described above. One of those wallets contained 41 BTC worth $2,611,481 now, while the other one held a 77 BTC chunk of crypto valued at $4,902,160.
The first wallet from these two had been inactive for 10.7 years, the second one was last used in 2013 and the Bitcoin it contains was worth merely $7,157 back then. This comprises a whopping 68,394% increase in profit on the Bitcoin held by this early cryptocurrency whale.

Bitcoin pares its losses
After coming really close to the $66,000 level on Sunday, the world’s largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization size, Bitcoin, plunged by 7.99% and landed at the $60,720 level earlier today.
This was followed by a bullish move as BTC succeeded in paring some of its losses. Over the past few hours, Bitcoin has managed to increase by 1.71%, rising to $61,800. However, bears again pushed it down, and currently the digital gold is trading at $61,370 per coin.
Bitcoin has been going down, despite the recently announced 50 basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve (and hints coming from its chairman, Jerome Powell, about two more rate cuts by the end of the year) and the start of “Uptober.” Historically, five bullish markets began in October for Bitcoin already, and many experts believed 2024 would be no exception.
However, the tightening of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East has pushed financial markets down, including Bitcoin, with altcoins following suit. Besides, BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes stated that BTC is likely to drop after the rate cuts before it goes up again.
